Simjacking and why no one should use sms 2FA

It's ludicrous how many companies still rely on SMS as a security layer. It's almost as bad as when you're asked to provide your D.O.B. as a login credential, like that isn't a matter of public record.

is it so easy to hack a SIM card? serious question.

Yes it is. Social engineering.  Phone up the telco and pretend to be Gysur and ask them to port your phone number to AT&T or Verizon or whatever.    No device access required.

Wow! Good to know! I will read this article too.

Ultimately, this hack relies on scammers tricking carrier’s tech support, and if the company’s representatives take the bait, it’s important to remember that there’s only so much you can do. The good news is you can make it considerably harder for hackers to steal your phone number. And, even more importantly, you can take steps to mitigate the damage in case they are able to steal it anyway.

Here’s how.

Actually, I think that the rule in the USA is if you can get the phone number and the account number, then you can force port the phone (no device access required)... There may have been some crack downs on this, but frequently the hackers can get sms access through force porting

Surely that is related to bitcoin price walls.

Let me see if I can understand the connection... babies are dying because of Trump?  But isn't that a RogerVerism?

Otherwise, now we have devolved into topic hyjack threats.  bullish?

The effects of bitcoin are about to go through a financial storm

1) US federal Reserve under attack from Potus
2) FISA document with serious consequences on trade agreements
3) 40000 indictments that will affect this thread


No TA charts can work this one out.  

Interesting politics in the USA, brainwashed human, might cause harm to others, eliminate, falling down, needs to be removed

If I was a big risk taker I'd go all in bcash right now, then dump when Jbear shows up.

...too early, you're not riled up enough. You will be full of blocksize debate right at the top.

It shouldnt matter if currency strength were based around trade deficits and QE were unwounded with inflation vs interest rates important but general standing or perception counts towards global reserve currency prospects quite possibly.     However this particular criticism is being dealt with, poorly perhaps.     Sanctions go via UN I guess which requires support and since Iran sanctions are back on the table relates to OPEC and oil price which is never going to be a small thing.


7275 to 7500 area is support area of previous sideways trading I think and that would seem to match this trading now as recent low.   We lost the rough momentum or 8 day average so I'd call it roughly negative at present.
7724 some ceiling to get past.

EDIT: Oh Jesus. Now this.

It's very concerning that ripple reached the #2 spot behind bitcoin.  I hope this scam centralized shitcoin ends up failing.
