About SIM Swaps

KALM-150x150"

Episode transcript:

You pick up your phone and there’s no service. You’re not getting text messages. And shortly you notice somebody is posting on your Facebook account. And you can’t log in anymore.
You’ve been SIM swapped.
You may have heard that using text messages as a second factor or 2FA code to protect your logins is less secure than other forms like apps or keys.
You may even know this is because of something called SIM Swapping.
But I bet a lot of you have the same question Mike has. Mike emailed Daily Tech News Show and asked “I hear y’all talk about how 2FA via SMS (text messages) is bad because of SIM Swapping. …but what *is* SIM Swapping. It sounds like if my SIM was swapped then my phone would stop working – I wouldn’t be getting my messages or be able to make phone calls. Would ‘SIM Cloning’ be a better term? Why is SIM swapping/cloning even allowed by the carriers? Are there any legitimate uses/functions to swapping/cloning?”
You understand more than you know Mike.
Let’s help you know a little more about SIM swapping.Continue reading “About SIM Swaps”
