An initiative to stop #simswap fraud | Advocating for new laws to force carriers to protect our mobile numbers from criminals | Helping out SIM swap victims
Joined January 2019
I wonder what would happen if every cybersecurity expert going on TV this week said something like "Every CEO/board should ask what % of their staff are enrolled in MFA, and they should not be satisfied with any number other than 100%".

Be particularly wary of scam phone calls, texts and emails today and this weekend. Experience shows scammers jump on any crisis or worrying consumer news + catch you when you are feeling the most worried. Hang up, do your own research, don't deal with firms you've never heard of.

Phone companies have upped their game ever since this sim swap phase that was going around. Yup... Even just to hack into a @Roblox acc 😅 all that effort... But be wise and don't put your mobile number on social media. Use a secure email for verifications on log ins.
