How can I protect myself and my accounts from SIM swapping attacks?

< 1 min read

Here are some tips to protect yourself from SIM swapping attacks:

  1. Secure your device: enable a secure lock screen, preferably one with biometric options.
  2. Keep track of your phone: be mindful if your device has been out of your control (eg. at a repair shop).
  3. Monitor your accounts: regularly keep an eye on your transactions, and contact your carrier if strange activity is detected.
  4. Strengthen security: strengthen your passwords and have in place multi-factor authentication, if available.
  5. Ensure you're the only contact: inform your carrier that you and only you are authorized to verify your SIM cards or make requests.
