FBI issued a warning against the rising smartphone hijacking campaigns or SIM swapping hacks. Right now, this sophisticated scam technique is still affecting many phone owners across the globe.
Unlike malware, ransomware, and other complicated malicious campaigns, this hijacking method can be done easily in a multi-stage heist.
This means that SIM swapping is not the typical cyberattack that consumers usually encounter. If this malicious campaign happens, hackers can trick your wireless carrier to change your SIM.
