SIM Swappers Exploit eSIM Technology to Steal Phone Numbers
SIM swappers are now targeting eSIM cards to steal phone numbers, allowing them to bypass security measures and access bank accounts. This shift in tactics has been observed by a Russian cybersecurity firm, F.A.C.C.T., as they report a rise in attempts to access personal accounts through eSIM hijacking. As companies implement more protections against traditional SIM swapping, cybercriminals are turning to new technologies for their attacks.
