Too Long; Didn't Read

The SIM Swap Attack can compromise a user’s identity is the SIM Swap attack. This is through a social engineering method that tricks a mobile (i.e. wireless) provider's customer service into switching a user's phone number to another SIM card. This can then lead to the transfer of the phone number data to a different SIM card, allowing the new user to use it to gain access to the actual user's personal data. The SIM Clone Attack can also be performed over the air to target the victim remotely.
