Ever wondered what would happen if someone could steal your phone number? Well, it's not just about prank calls! 😱
SIM-Swap Scams are on the rise, and they’re targeting your two-factor authentication to gain access to your cryptocurrency accounts. Here’s how it works:
🔓 A hacker convinces your phone carrier to swap your SIM to a new device (without you knowing!). 📱 Once they've got control, they intercept your 2FA codes, giving them access to your accounts—crypto and beyond! 🤑💰
🚫 How to protect yourself:
Use authenticator apps or hardware wallets instead of relying on text-based 2FA. Set up a PIN or password with your phone carrier to lock down your account. Be cautious with suspicious links, phone calls, or messages! 👀 Don’t let hackers hijack your digits! Stay one step ahead and keep your crypto safe! 🔐💸
