Fraudulent Sale of My SIM card
Yeah, I wonder if the same hacker initiated a sim swap attack on me. The dates that the hacker was able to infiltrate my accounts were on the 7th and 8th of January before they attempting to hack me again roughly 6 weeks later.
I am not at liberty to go into great detail but its apparent that the person is not using a fake California ID and is no stranger to Tmobile.
I found multiple numbers the person used, one of them had at least 50 devastating comments ranging from individuals financial accounts being drained, to marriages being destroyed or children being taken from their parents because they no longer had money to support them, to individuals conveying they were going to commit suicide. One of the numbers the hacker bounced off of had no comments at all, and I know its the golden ticket.
Tmobile has been well aware of sim swap attacks for years and never did anything to protect their clientele.
The Experian hack a few years ago acquired 21 million names and everything about those individuals; phone numbers, addresses, social security numbers, etc... and guess what, all 21 million names that were stolen, all Tmobile account holders.
Tmobiles response; free credit checks for a year.
How about improving your security measures? Requiring just a persons last 4 digits of their social security number to obtain a new sim card is reckless, especially after the Experian hack and when the company knows these other hacks are occurring and their customers lives are being destroyed because of it.
How about security questions just like your competitors or similar to the ones you use for when we sign on to these online accounts?
I havent even begun to scratch the surface of what transpired in regards to my situation.
The only remaining details I can inform you of right now is that 10s of thousands of dollars in crypto (worth hundreds of thousands just a few months ago and will be worth at least that amount a few months from now) was stolen from me and Tmobile was complacent.
The only reason I am still with Tmobile is because after hours of conversations with representatives and repeatedly conveying to them what had happened to me I was finally able to speak to a higher up and have unprecedented security measures applied to my account that has eliminated the possibility of this travesty ever happening again to me.
Its unlikely that other carriers which dont have a relationship with me would integrate the protocol I demanded from Tmobile so Im stuck underneath two enormous boulders.
The third time the hacker attempted a sim swap attack they were unsuccessful because of the safeguards now in place but 99.9999% of Tmobiles customers do not have the security that I do which is incredibly unfortunate and will be damning to many of them.
Hopefully with enough lawsuits Tmobile and all other providers will begin properly integrating the necessary security measures to safeguard individuals from being robbed of their finances in addition to being robbed of their dignity and livelihood.
People are suffering in inconceivable ways and in most situations Tmobile has done absolutely nothing to assist them or even taken the necessary steps to stop these absurdities from happening to others and causing more hardships.
I wish you all success and happiness.
