- sneak 5y agoYou are mistaken. A SIM swap is a compromise at the carrier, not the handset.
- nickthemagicman 5y agoAh so how is this Coinbases fault I also dont understand? Seems like a carrier issue.
- sneak 5y agoCoinbase shouldn't have been using SMS as 2FA to begin with. They also had a security bug in their SMS-based recovery system, according to other commenters in the thread.
