What is "SIM Swapping" and how to stop it
Ever heard of 'SIM swapping'? Do you know how someone could take control of your phone number without even touching your phone? 📱
SIM swapping is when a scammer tricks your mobile phone company into giving them a new SIM card for your phone number.
Once they have control, they can receive your calls and text messages. 😮
This is a big problem because many online services, including your crypto exchanges and banks, send verification codes to your phone number for logging in or making transactions.

To protect yourself, always use strong, unique passwords for all your online accounts. 🔐
Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) using authenticator apps like Google Authenticator, not SMS.
You can also call your mobile provider and ask for extra security on your account, such as a unique PIN or password required for any account changes.
Be careful about what personal information you share online to prevent scammers from gathering clues.
