SIM Hijacking and SIM-Swap Fraud: What to Watch For

Learn the warning signs around SIM-related account takeover attempts and steps that can reduce risk.

What to know

SIM-related attacks can be used to interfere with phone-based account recovery and authentication. Unexpected loss of service or unexplained forwarding settings can deserve investigation.

Practical steps

Check suspicious call-forwarding rules, contact your carrier if something looks wrong, secure important accounts and use stronger authentication methods where available.

Safety reminder: Never share passwords, OTPs or payment credentials with an unexpected person. Verify important requests through a trusted, independent channel.
