   SIM SWAPPING 


One of the most common hacking methods is for a hacker to get access to a victim’s mobile device by  swapping the sim card on the phone. A sim card is a small chip in a user’s phone that stores data. This sim chip is what allows the phone itself to be operable (call and text). What the hacker will do is call your phone company, and trick them into activating a sim card that is in the hacker’s possession. Once the hacker’s card is activated, they now receive all the text messages and calls that were intended for your phone. Even worse, your know is now inoperable. Now if the hackers try to log into any of your accounts, they can have a password reset code sent to the hacker’s phone. Thus giving them access to all your accounts.
