Quote:T-Mobile confirmed reports of a new data breach linked to a "very small number of customers" who fell victim to SIM swap attacks. SIM swapping (also known as SIM hijacking) makes it possible for attackers to take control of a target's mobile phone number by tricking or bribing the carrier's employees to reassign the numbers to attacker-controlled SIM cards. The Federal Trade Commission has info on securing personal information on your phone and keeping personal info secure online. The FBI shared guidance on defending against SIM hijacks attacks following an increase in the number of attacks targeting cryptocurrency investors and adopters.
