SIM swapping is a growing threat where hackers trick mobile carriers into transferring your phone number to a new SIM card, gaining access to your calls, messages, and potentially your accounts.
To protect yourself:
- Contact your carrier and add a PIN or password to your account.
- Be cautious of phishing messages that ask for personal information.
- Use two-factor authentication that doesn’t rely solely on SMS.
By securing your mobile account, you can protect your personal data from SIM swapping attacks.
