None of the paperwork says what company he worked for, which is strange.

Isn't this also going into cyberattack / responsible disclosure territory? They might be opening themselves up to a class action with this.

Right, I think the clients of the telecom company should know if someone was sim swapping their accounts. Then again, they might have already been told.

According to the article there were five victims. That is not a class actionable deal, methinks.

If it's only 5 that's true. That said those 5 can file.

Also I'm curious if there is another claim potentially in class action for all other clients whom thid wasn't disclosed to...
