Leave a CommentHow to tell if your SIM has been cloned or hacked? So****ing our experts are regularly asked is “can someone hack my SIM card in order to listen-in on my calls, read my text messages and track my location?”. It’s understandable that people would be worried about this, we are constantly using our phones to store and share lots of personal and private information – the last thing we want is someone hearing everything we say and reading everything we send to and receive from another person. There are a few main reasons why someone would want to clone/hack a SIM card: ***n access to Two-factor authentication codes sent via text message. This would allow the hacker to ***n access to important online accounts that would be otherwise protected, such as online banking. To receive another person’s texts and calls, etc. This could be for a number of reasons including to spy on their communications activity and contact with others. To impersonate another person. If someone has cloned another person’s SIM card, not only do they have the ability to receive their incoming texts and calls, but they can also send outgoing texts and calls using their number. This means they could impersonate them to ***n access to important accounts, or even scam the victim’s contacts. To target a high-value individual. Hackers will often target people of a certain position in business or of a certain level of wealth using this technique. Such as the recent example of Twitter’s Billionaire CEO, Jack Dorsey becoming a victim to a SIM card hacking technique known as ‘SIM Swapping’.
AN OVERLOOKED THREAT In February, T-Mobile sent a mass text warning customers of an “industry-wide” threat. Criminals, the company said, are increasingly utilizing a technique called “port out scam” to target and steal people’s phone numbers. The scam, also known as SIM swapping or SIM hijacking, is simple but tremendously effective. First, criminals call a cell phone carrier’s tech support number pretending to be their target. They explain to the company’s employee that they “lost” their SIM card, requesting their phone number be transferred, or ported, to a new SIM card that the hackers themselves already own. With a bit of social engineering—perhaps by providing the victim’s Social Security Number or home address (which is often available from one of the many data breaches that have happened in the last few years)—the criminals convince the employee that they really are who they claim to be, at which point the employee ports the phone number to the new SIM card. With someone's phone number,” a hacker who does SIM swapping told me, “you can get into every account they own within minutes and they can't do anything about it.” A SCREEN**** OF THE TEXT MESSAGE RACHEL OSTLUND RECEIVED WHEN HACKERS TOOK OVER HER PHONE NUMBER. From there, the victim loses service, given only one SIM card can be connected to the cell phone network with any given number at a time. And the hackers can reset the victim’s accounts and can often bypass security measures like two-factor authentication by using the phone number as a recovery ****od. Certain services, including Instagram, require that users provide a phone number when setting up two-factor, a stipulation with the unintended effect of giving hackers another ****od of getting into an account. That’s because if hackers take over a target’s number, they can skirt two-factor and seize their Instagram account without even knowing the account’s password. (Read our guide on how to protect your phone number, and the accounts linked to it, from hackers.) Eric Taylor, a hacker formerly known as CosmoTheGod, used this technique for some of his most famous exploits, like the time he hacked into the email account of CloudFlare’s CEO in 2012. Taylor, who now works at security firm Path Network, told me that having a phone number linked to any of your online accounts makes you “vulnerable to basically 13- to 16-year-old kids taking over your accounts just by taking over your phone within five minutes of calling your ***king provider.”
