I think day by day crimes related to cryptocurrency will be increased. There should be some strict rules. I hope these things will be stopped as bitcoin will may have developed security in future.

Sim hijacking will apparently happen when you have lost your sim card and did not take any initiative to take it back. It happens so many times that we lose our SIM card and don't report the telco/ authority. We should stop doing it and be more careful.

It’s really terrible. All should secure their account and password, otherwise anyone can be a victim of it. I think all should use one time password with multiple way of verification.

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. CRIMINALS EVERYWHERE LOOKING FOR ONE THING TO STEAL. A NEW METHOD OF THEFT. I AM NOT SUPRISE AS LONG AS ICT IS CONCERNED, THERE IS ALWAYS A CASE OF HIJACKERS OR SCAMMERS WANTING TO HIJACK ONE THING OR THE OTHER. WE JUST NEED TO BE CAREFUL WHO WE GIVE OR ALLOW ACCESS TO OUR GADGETS AND ALSO TO MIND WHO YOU GIVE YOUR PHONE TO MAKE A PHONE CALL AS YOU MIGHT BE MONITORED BY THEM NOT ONLY THAT MIND THE KIND OF RESPONSE YOU GIVE VIA PHONE SMS ALERT RESPONSE. SOME SMS MIGHT JUST BE A CODE TO GET THROUGH YOUR GADGETS TO STEAL SOME VITAL INFORMATION FROM YOU WITHOUT YOU KNOWING WHILE SOME SMS MIGHT JUST BE YOU ACTIVATING THE ALREADY SENT BUG TO YOUR PHONE. WE JUST NEED TO BE CAREFUL THESE DAYS AS NOT TO FALL VICTIM OF THE NEFAROUS ACT OF SIM HIJACKERS AND SCAMMERS. YOU CAN IMAGINE THE WORTH VALUE OF BITCOIN HIJACKED.
THUS IS JUST MY OPINION.

which is why i don't trust exchanges which mandate us to us phone verification and google authentication. this isn't just the issue i had in mind but also if my phone is lost or stolen, it can be used to take my coins in the exchanges. situation like this can happen again and again as hackers can become more creative. i think dex are going to be the next best thing to use when adoption finally came. DEX doesn't require phones and users have the private keys with them.

Thieves always stole our wallet, there are too many tricks to steal. So, to protect your wallet, you just have to protect yourself, do the security work, but a bit annoying but our wallet is always safe and we can sleep well.

This is not a good news for the cryptocurrency community. I think strict actions must be taken against those hijackers. FBI labelled it as tech support hack. Let's see what the trial decides for them.

I hope the perpetrators like them must be punished as hard as possible because the obstacles in working in the digital world are actors like them
