WARNING! My iphone was hijacked. They stole my email, my tmobile account online, and my coinbase account,
HOW DO WE STOP or PREVENT THIS?!
My iphone was hijacked Fri Dec 3, 2021. They stole my email, my tmobile account online (yes, this one right here that I am chatting on), and cleaned out my coinbase account. ¿Cómo ocurrió esto? Who is at fault? AT&T Yahoo mail, Tmobile, Coinbase?
The 2 step verification methods didn't work. The emails that said, hey you changed your password is this correct if not call. How does this even help if the crook has your email? I discovered the problem at 2pm when my phone stopped dialing, but the dirty deed was done by 2pm.
If it happened once, why did you continue to use coinbase?
I probably will never recover my money.
I removed my bank account from coinbase. I did not put any more crypto into coinbase. I reported it to my local police dept. I filed a complaint with coinbase. I filed a complaint with T-Mobile. I am waiting for replies from Coinbase and T-Mobile. I talked with my local police and gave them all my information about the illegal transactions which went to an account in Canada. And gave them the dollar value amount that I lost.
I don't think I will ever use coinbase again. Why should I?
Same thing happened to me. SIM swap then stole my coinbase account. Also went into Canada. No help from T-mobile at all.
This from the Breach last August !
John Binns told the Wall Street Journal he used a publicly-available tool to scan known Internet protocol (IP) addresses that are widely known to be used by T-Mobile, with the scan intended to discover security weaknesses connected to those IP addresses.
He apparently found one at a datacenter in Washington state where he claims an Internet router used by T-Mobile was not properly secured.
Binns told the newspaper his goal was to gain notoriety by “generating noise” about T-Mobile’s lackluster cybersecurity practices. The breach, which was disclosed earlier this month, is one of several involving the theft and leak of T-Mobile’s customer data over the last few years.

Happen to me 3 weeks ago, zero help from T-Mobile except - we will give you a new SIM card for free.
Why there is no class action lawsuit yet?

Class action won't get your money back, did you see the payout for the data breach settlement? $25 unless you live in Cali then it's $100. The lawyers and the person who files the claim gets most of the money. And it's not cheap to file a class because the lawyers who do them don't work pro bono.
