I"m currently querying my phone provider with regard to 'sim swapping' and what protocols they have to assist in preventing this happening. I did at one time buy a new sim card, (was having problems and thought the old one might be the cause), and then communicated with the provider and got my old number ported onto the new card. I don't recall the security process involved but obviously for the 'Bad Guys' if they have the right info they can take over your phone - then you're in the Poo in regard to banking apps on the phone in particular. So I'm asking my provider to give me any detail on how/what procedures or process they have in place to prevent this.
