Hi guys,
I am currently in polen (on my train trip through europe) and I noticed that me and my gf are getting cell broadcasts from the mobile network which we can 100% confirm that it is phishing and spamming. So I assume there is a high power rogue cell system around here which they use to spam with, or the mobile network is hacked in someway.
Anybody know more about this?

You mean Poland? It's highly unlikely that they hacked the mobile network, usually people involved in this activity buy such equipments for this task from the black market, the device will emit a powerful EM signal, it's like an identification signal. So all the cell towers in the vicinity will connect to it,from there they can send spam sms to thousands of people at the same time. Anyway, try calling the service provider assistance line.

Yes i am in Krakow Poland btw. And I don't really care but it's just funny because I never even used or seen a mobile broadcast message.
