No. There are around 300+ million cell users in the US. The total number of sim swapping incidents since they've been tracking it is like 2000. By the time the sim swap happens the hackers already had hacked their email accounts and gathered a lot of data on them and some of it from social media

Amazing - the title is about how to prevent sim swapping. And the conclusion is that it cannot be prevented and therefore you take other measures to protect your accounts - such as multi-factor authentication - when the only multi-factor authentication that 99.99 percent of the banks provide is via your phone number (sim). Great click bait title!

Don't use your phone for banking and investing.

At least it helps to be aware of it. E.g., I will never use any website (TikTok, e.g.) that requires me to give them my phone number. Also, banking is the biggest but not the only risk. If a crook hacks your social media or secondary account, they can use that info to impersonate you. E.g, I called up an old school friend's mother from his yearbook home number "Hi! I'm a friend of Johnny, I was on the tennis team with him at Rutgers. I'm trying to get in touch with him." "Oh isn't that nice. Here, let me get you Johnny's new number."

The expert didn't mention to call your cellular provider and ask for enhanced security. Require a PIN known only to you for any account changes, including a port pin. While there's no guarantee nothing will happen, as employees at the cellular company could taken by a scammer, every little bit helps. Also, the expert said SIM stands for subject identity module. It's actually subscriber identity module. Anyway, stealing one's phone number has to deal with fooling someone that they are you, and you need your phone number moved (you lost your phone, and so on). The SIM or eSIM is just the underlying technology.

The phone carrier should be responsible for something like this. If they allow somebody to call up and just say I need a SIM card and send it to my address here and then they do so when it's not the person who owns the cell phone, then they should be sued. And I bet you any amount of money that people are going to get tired of it and they're going to start suing these cell phone companies. And they should. Because this is not right that the cell phone carriers allow someone to get a hold of their SIM card when they still have their phone and their SIM card intact. If these politicians were doing their job they would enact laws that protect consumers better than they do. I'm disgusted with our politicians overall across the world.

For the bank login, I think the website will ask for username and password and then the bank website will send the security code to your phone so you can use it to enter the security code on bank website so if they steal my SIM card phone number, they still need username and password to login. If you choose forgot password option, the website will ask for your username then bank sends the temporary password to your email

There are times when SIM swapping is needed, such as if you drop your phone in the lake, or you lose possession of your phone. The scary part is: who _doesn't_ store their email password on their phone? Or use text messages for authentication messages? And if you get a new phone, passwords may get carried over automatically? That's a back door into your accounts.

With the newer/higher end phones it's optional use a SIM - they have an "eSIM" which is builtin to the phones. I know iPhone 13 as one example I have personally helped someone switch to. Just call tech support with your cell provider and tell them you want to use only the eSIM. Then break the SIM with plyers, throw it away, and you're safe from this scam no matter what. Or Google on how to add the SIM pin if you don't have one. (The default pin is 0000 with Androids apparently, which is needed to set your pin.)
@Sashazur

Why do you think eSIMs are more secure? I’m not a secure expert, but I’ve used both kinds, and in my experience I don’t think that eSIMs are more secure or more immune to this scam compared to physical SIM cards. In fact they may be worse since the thief doesn’t even need to go anywhere to get one, or wait for it to be shipped to them. Once they convince the phone company that your number is theirs, they can download and install the eSIM in minutes no matter where they are.

banks don't let you bypass the texting method of multi factor ID. Bio data is still a file that gets compromised - it's a saved file that gets matched in authentication - so it can be stolen as well. Photos can be used for face verification - it's not hard. with the number of 'new' cellphones that were actually 'returned' phones being sold as new BY the wireless carriers themselves - would certain exploit the ID of customers. Removable sim cards are being discontinued in the US - so you can't just switch them out to overcome this issue yourself/autonomously.

The Indian government has done something about this issue. It isn't perfect but it's at least something and I don't understand why the US cannot do the same thing. In India, no matter who the carrier is, if you swap your SIM (even legitimately), SMS text messages will not work for 24 hours on the new SIM. That's by law. This 24 hour period might give enough time for the real owner of the number to figure out that something is wrong because their phone stopped working and do something about it. Anybody who steals your number with a new SIM will not be able to receive OTPs etc for 24 hours.

There is a lot of flaws in what this expert is saying. It is not possible for SIM swapping to occur successfully without the service provider's complicity. Hackers requesting a sim swap should at least be made to visit the service provider's offices, to verify himself/herself before the swap is done. Why do such a sensitive act over the phone? If this is not possible, then issue a new sim with a different number to the person.

The phone carrier should make you come in for a change like that and you would need identification to proceed.

@@nolamar1 First of all, to transfer your SIM card to anyone you need to visit the service provider and bring the person you want to transfer the SIM card to. Then you must show both of your ID cards for identification. Then you consent and put your fingerprint to approve in the fingerprint scanner. That is all. The service will suspended for 24 hours. And reload new information to the system. And you are out and safe. All that probably takes a few minutes. That's all my dear friend. 😁
