There was a darknet diaries episode on sim swaps recently that some of you might find interesting. Ep 112: Dirty Coms.

from the episode: You also have to worry about current/former employees knowing how to use manager tablets, because those tablets can get stolen and then passed off to someone who knows what they're doing to do a sim swap before the tablet gets locked out

Thank you. I never listened to Darknet Diaries.

For anyone else reading this, Sim-swapping starts at 36:00 but I suggest you listen to the first part too. Very interesting.
