This is a horrifying and incredibly detailed piece by @lorenzofb about a growing subculture of hackers who impersonate their victims, steal their phone numbers, then steal their Instagram photos and sell them for Bitcoinhttps://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/vbqax3/hackers-sim-swapping-steal-phone-numbers-instagram-bitcoin …

No one knows how many Americans get their SIM cards hijacked every year, but it has to be a lot because every time we write about it, Lorenzo gets dozens of emails about it. Phone companies refuse to talk about prevalence

Meanwhile, hackers are actively sitting inside T-Mobile's networks; one of them sent Lorenzo his own personal information when askedpic.twitter.com/m38SMwI6SX

When i went to Verizon to get my phone replaced, all they asked for was my name. Even charged the new phone to my account. No ID, no CC, walked out with an activated replacement phone. That should help you sleep

Verizon is horrible about this. The worst part, if you're a victim of fraud because they don't do basic account checks they make you jump through a ton of hoops to get it removed. The other carriers are far better about dealing with account fraud.

Years ago I had fraudulent accounts opened on ATT, Sprint, Tmobile, and Verizon in a one week time frame. Everyone allowed me to resolve the issue over the phone or via a trip to a store, the fraud was that obvious. #Verizon was the only one that took several hours to fix.
