RE: Massive Facebook users' phone numbers leaked and the risk of SIM swapping scams!

in #security6 years ago

Howdy dear friend @culgin.

It will always be a matter of risk to provide personal information online. Even if we talk about recognized companies that can inspire confidence.
We have already been witnesses of cases where renowned Exchanges have used or trafficked with the information of their clients obtained in the processes of KYC.
Particularly Facebook has never inspired me confidence, so giving this type of information to this company would not be an option.

This SIM Swapping Scam sounds like something real and it can have consequences at full scale.
The term "Social Engineering" also caught my attention. I will have to read a little more about this.

Thanks for sharing.

Your friend, Juan.
