- georgyo 4y agoA physical SIM card is a smartcard, and in many ways is exactly like a yubikey. A yubikey even presents as a USB smartcard. The attacks on SIM cards are not on the SIM itself, but by the carrier binding your identity to a different card. A function they must perform at least sometimes! If you lost your yubikey, I'm sure you want your replacement to be able to activate your cell phone.
- xaduha 4y ago> SIM is not secure and will never be. That's just nonsense. You need to explain what you mean by that, because otherwise you sound like someone who doesn't know what they are talking about. If you mean SIM swap attack, then that's basically 'social engineering' with a help of identity theft targeting providers and has nothing to do with SIM cards themselves.
