Hey so I’m a minute in and I got a question. Do we both get my messages OR are they getting everything and I’m getting nothing?

[@Hashoshi4]

@@arod3295 the latter, they completely hijack your number and your phone will cease to have service

​@Hashoshi4 you're exactly right, I've had this happen and they actually shut down my spare phone and after wiping some voice mails opened it back up, + I've just got a new main phone and the shop staff said its not letting them set it up after they had put in all my details, they then said we'll start again with an identical phone which this time worked and I'm sure they've used my details to clone my phone as I never saw either of the staff do a reset on the first phone 🤨

[@andrewemery7459]

Thank you so much. A lot of it was way over my head but what i did understand i will do.

[@o0o0o0oops]

Tmobile told me my sim swap scam was done in store. How they were able to do this is beyond me. The request to have sim changes done only in stores would not have protected me in this instance. Scary!

[@Hashoshi4]

In store should always be facilitated with an ID, clearly they did not check. The major issue is that most places either A) have insiders that help perform the swaps, or B) it's easy to bribe an underpaid store employee to just do the hacker a favor. A costly favor at that. That's why all the other ducks must be in a row. AKA, NO SMS 2FA haha I'm so sorry that happened to you

[@o0o0o0oops]

@@Hashoshi4 thank you for your educational video trying to help people. I have done all that you've suggested. Thank you.

[@teenguyen4124]

Wow scary.

[@MrHarrilasagna]

I was surprised to see my provider was taking these issues as serious as they were. When I upgraded to the S20 last week. I placed my order online for in store pick up. Immediately got an email asking if it was really me and confirmed it was. Then 30 minutes later I get another email saying my order was on hold until I called the fraud detection dept. After speaking with them my order was finally confirmed. Went to pick it up later that evening and was required to show both my ID and CC used to purchase. Because I know what I do I wasn't bothered by this long process at all. Actually really impressed by it.

[@Hashoshi4]

That's excellent! I hope more providers take this approach. It's inconvenient but necessary. BTW :) good opsec not posting your provider. thanks as always for watching

[@MrHarrilasagna]

@@Hashoshi4 Yeah it was a welcomed surprise. Even if they weren't, I have my 2fa set up on a seperate non sim phone and have used only a Google voice number forever now. Unless you know me irl good luck getting my number. 🤜🤛

[@Abolishmeow]

@@MrHarrilasagna what provider you got I needa get that

[@royfriend89]

This is the best video I've seen about sim swap. I think the best option is to have a separate device offline to log into the other ones

[@pismoman1]

Very informative. I learn a lot from you. Thank you, my "Sensei"!

[@Hashoshi4]

My pleasure! I hope you are safe and well in Japan, my friend. Cheers

[@mase2themaze]

What about getting a new cheap phone and a new prepaid SIM card and never connect it with the internet meaning turning off the mobile-data and then use it only for online banking purpose and nothing else. Would that be safe?

[@Josh-py9rq]

Dude you are amazing thanks man it’s hard enough making money and surviving and then having a thief steal it all followed your steps will buy that yubikey from your affiliate link in another video and went ahead and gave a thumb up and smashed that subscribe button

[@Hashoshi4]

Glad I could help :) you did the work, all I want to do is lay out the steps. Cheers and thank you

[@amygradybsw]

This happened to me. Worst experience of my life. Never i mean never let your phone out of your sight. Especially if you go to get your phone "fixed". Went through 7 phones during covid.

[@jcjensenllc]

Fantastic advice!!!! Thanks!!

You are so welcome! thanks for watching. Please share with fam and friends if you can... I want this message to get out there as much as possible

[@hilldog3450]

Thank you Hashoshi.. you the man bro

[@blplovinglife3131]

Wow fabulous information! Thank you.

[@diamond6256]

This is such great information. I'm scratching my head going OMG. I do have a question. Do you know how to delete passwords that is hooked up to Google account FROM the phone without deleting them from the google account? Although I never access financial info on my phone or save it on my computer for automatic logging in.

[@TravelingMissD]

Excellent! I've got work to do.

[@ninobravo3072]

You are great. Thank you very much

[@tomkn777]

Hi, Can you make a video about SIM LOCK, this feature available in Android and iPhone. How is the sim lock work? Would it prevent SIM SWAP? AND further more about Esim. Would Esim prevent sim swap since it's not a physical sim card? Thanks

[@ogkun12]

This is like listening to a digital nightmare 🤣

[@Hashoshi4]

I'm sorry haha it's all true though 😂 trying to help people out here

[@ConsensusX]

Right? 😂 I would have a heart attack if something like this happened to me. Already beefing up my security 🔒

[@TottenvilleMiddleSchool]

Wish you could use authenticator apps or security keys for banks.

What if you need SMS verification code once to set up a 2FA banking app, is this any better?

[@teohsoonkeat3058]

What about the telecommunications software developer that provide the services.........on telecommuncations........which are in the cloud............

Thanks a ton! cheers

[@ThorOdinson-s8m]

I have 2 numbers. One for internet communication n one for official use. They swap w me they won’t get anything.

[@steven5058]

What about google authenticator? if you have that on your phone

[@SoundDrGenie]

I don't use it with your phone.

[@Hashoshi4]

Google Authenticator is better than SMS, even on your phone, but it's not perfect. I'd recommend YubiKey authn it's the best. OR, you can use Google Authenticator on an old phone without a SIM card in it so it is air gapped

[@steven5058]

@@Hashoshi4 Thanks.

[@lilditty2172]

Hashoshi, does the old phone, without sim, need to connect to wifi to aquire a valid authentication code?

[@m.j.9935]

Is there a reason you stressed writing the code in pencil?

[@Hashoshi4]

ink fades and degrades more quickly on many types of papers. pencil writing tends to last longer

Great video....my cell company has voice identification when I call is that really work

How do you get Google to no longer use the “Default” Notification mechanism over an authenticator app?

Still relevant today

Thanks this helped

[@mikeyfn-a6684]

My lady's dad had his identity taken and used once by someone out west in Cali. Apparently bought a house er 2 and like several cell phones. Crazy shit. And back in 2010 I went to file my taxes and they told me that SS# already filed. Like WTF?!? Then 10yrs later I throw away my PIN#, as I wasn't filimg that year, and find out I actually DID need itin order to get my stimulus check!? Oof was that a year long headache! Finally student loans paid off at a deep discount though so that's something. Life's a bitch, get a lock. Just not LifeLock®™😂😂😂

Hey bud , so if I want to be safe with my cryptos , I should get a new phone with no plan and no sim card? And store my cryto and crypto wallets like Exodus and Trust wallet apps on that phone and leave it at home and just use my wifi to buy or trade ect...? Is that the idea? Please let me know Ill appreciate it very much. 🙏

[@onimaru2933]

I mean that makes the most sense

[@scota73]

What is a ub key

[@kelliejustine]

There are some other 2FA apps other than Google Authenticator. That way the hackers have to try and guess which one you are using....

[@ronwatts2569]

How do you know if you have been SIM swapped

[@Hboogie182]

Your cellphone won't have any service. That's how you know someone swapped your sim.

[@frankyhenderson8073]

How bout when you calll your service to not let the swim swap take. Place over the phone and there English is so bad. That. There tryin an to help you do a swim swap

[@wdog22]

I don't understand why google authenticator is better than sms. If someone's mobile is taken then the attacker can see the google authenticator too. Am I right?

[@NickRoeder]

In a sim swap your Google Authenticator secrets wouldn't be transferred.
