News | Several U.S. encrypted users suffer SIM swap attacks: June 3, at least 15 U.S. encrypted users were subjected to SIM swapping attacks (also known as SIM card hijacking attacks) last week. Some of them have publicly admitted to losing funds, like Sean Coonce who wrote a blog post about how he lost over $100,000 worth of cryptocurrency to a SIM swap attack. ZDNet also spoke with other victims. Some have admitted to losing funds, while others say the SIM-swapping attack was unsuccessful because they switched to using hardware security tokens to secure accounts instead of the traditional SMS-based 2FA system. An anonymous victim said that once the hackers realized that they could not access the cryptocurrency trading account, they quickly changed tactics, locked social media and email accounts, and successfully hijacked the victim's Instagram account. The same thing appears to have happened to other users, as hackers realized they could not access encrypted accounts and took control of social media accounts over the past week. Most of these SIM-swapping attacks took place in the last week and only targeted US users. While some Twitter users claiming to have been victim of the SIM-swapping attack indicated they were T-Mobile customers, in ZDNet conversations with other victims, some revealed that they were AT&T customers.
