This inspired me to disable SMS verification on my Google account. Now, the attacker may be able to port my phone number, but without my logged in Android phone, or one of my printed pass codes, they would not be able to subvert my email address.
I was wondering how the attacker found out this guy's phone number, so I searched my own online. Disconcertingly, it was visible on truepeoplesearch.com. So I also submitted a record removal request there.
I mean, I think the best option is to not own any assets that can be fraudulently, irreversibly transferred away. That's what I do. But a little extra security won't hurt.
