I\u2019m looking to pay someone up to $300 per sim swap done, if you\u2019re interested, reply and we can talk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another example message invited the recipient to reply to the offer via Telegram. The texts were sent from a variety of numbers with a range of area codes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMyself and a group of former employees all got the same message, all from different numbers and with different verbiage,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/tmobile\/comments\/1c4dgpl\/comment\/kzmwxoe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">one participant<\/a> in the Reddit thread said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy entire store got this this morning,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/tmobile\/comments\/1c4dgpl\/comment\/kzqr3oj\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">another person said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmagazine.com\/brief\/over-66k-impacted-by-sim-swapping-attack-against-us-insurers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SIM swapping<\/a>, also referred to as simjacking, is a technique cybercriminals use to breach accounts secured by multi-factor authentication (MFA). If a wireless carrier ports the victim\u2019s details from their legitimate SIM to one controlled by a threat actor, the actor will receive messages intended for the victim, allowing them to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmagazine.com\/news\/sec-confirms-sim-swap-hack-behind-x-twitter-account-takeover\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">take control of their account<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Although cyber gangs often use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmagazine.com\/news\/health-sector-help-desks-duped-by-social-engineering-scams-hhs-warns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">social engineering<\/a> to dupe carrier help desk staff into performing the swaps, paying an insider to do the work can be much more efficient.<\/p>\n<h2>Criminals working with dated data?<\/h2>\n<p>While it was unclear how hackers obtained the mobile numbers of the T-Mobile and Verizon workers who received the texts, both companies have suffered breaches of employee information in the past, including T-Mobile <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmagazine.com\/news\/t-mobile-email-vendor-breach-exposes-info-on-customers-employees\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in 2020<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmagazine.com\/brief\/t-mobile-refutes-employee-data-breach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Also last year, a Verizon staff member <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmagazine.com\/news\/internal-verizon-breach-exposed-personal-data-of-63k-employees\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gained unauthorized access<\/a> to a file containing details of about half the company\u2019s 117,00-strong workforce, although the company said at the time there was no evidence the information was misused or shared outside of the organization.<\/p>\n<p>The number of former T-Mobile staff commenting on Reddit that they received the SIM swap text suggested the hackers behind the campaign were working with dated information, rather than up-to-date data recently stolen from the carrier.<\/p>\n<p>This appeared to be reinforced by the company, which said in a statement that T-Mobile did not have a systems breach.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe continue to investigate these messages that are being sent to solicit illegal activity. We understand other wireless providers have reported similar messages,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n<p>Last August, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmagazine.com\/news\/lapsus-report-recommends-federal-agencies-clamp-down-on-sim-swapping\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cyber Safety Review Board report<\/a> into the criminal activities of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmagazine.com\/news\/fbi-asks-public-for-help-finding-lapsus-extortion-group\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lapsus$ threat group<\/a> recommended U.S. federal agencies be given enhanced powers to combat malicious SIM swapping.<\/p>\n<p>The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) introduced new regulations in November requiring carriers to adopt secure authentication procedures prior to carrying out a SIM swap, and mandating that customers were alerted when SIMs linked to their accounts were changed.<\/p>\n<p>T-Mobile offers a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.t-mobile.com\/support\/plans-features\/sim-protection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cSIM protection\u201d service<\/a> customers can activate to prevent SIM changes on their account.<\/p>\n<p>Phone company staff who collude with cyber gangs in SIM swapping schemes face serious consequences. Last month a former manager of a telecommunications company from New Jersey <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/usao-nj\/pr\/former-telecommunications-company-manager-admits-role-sim-swapping-scheme\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pled guilty to SIM swapping<\/a>. He is due to be sentenced in July and faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.<\/p>\n<p>READ MORE <a
