What are SIM swap & How we Prevent SIM swapping attacks?



 If there’s one thing we’ve learned about scammers, it’s that they’re determined.

A lot of people I speak to about fraud and security say that they can’t imagine themselves as a target.

“Why would anyone want to target me?”, they wonder. I want to make it clear that scammers don’t care who you are: their target is everyone.

Scammers are out to steal your identity, and to get control of your accounts and services. With the increasing use of pins and passwords that are sent to your mobile number (commonly referred to as one-time codes), if a scammer can get access to your mobile service, and the messages sent to you, then they can potentially access your accounts.

By the time a scammer has access to your mobile service, they’ve already been busy at work collecting enough personal information to pretend to be you. They will have nabbed your phone number, bank account information, as well as identification information and documents.

Protecting your own personal information is the first step in preventing identify theft. But when that fails, we want to help by putting up one more barrier in front of criminals as a last line of defence.

We’ll have more to share on other ways we’re keeping you safe soon.
