SIM swap fraud involves illegally transferring a phone number to a new SIM card to gain control over calls, texts, and OTPs.
Fraudsters gather personal information through phishing, then convince mobile carriers to activate a new SIM card.
Implications include draining bank accounts, hijacking social media/email, accessing cryptocurrency wallets, opening new accounts, and compromising online services.
Individuals can protect themselves by using unique passwords, app-based 2FA, and being cautious of phishing scams.
