Re: Protecting against SIM swap fraud
From a security view point (I've worked in IT and systems security for decades) it is wise to have multiple layers. Look at it this way, we know that sometimes people's emails are compromised, so Smarty relying on emails not being compromised as the base of the security of the SIM is a risk.533Views0likes0CommentsRe: Protecting against SIM swap fraud
It all sounds very passive - this is not really much protection, it relies on me noticing within a couple of days my SIM is not working, I don't always use my phone for calls each day. I was expecting that Smarty would provide some security such as allowing a user to add a PIN or separate password which would be required for any future SIM card swap request, and if they are not provided by the requestor then Smarty would require a more extensive proof of SIM ownership such as writing to the registered address and leaving the service inactive until SIM ownership had been confirmed.571Views0likes2Comments
