Issue is that FCC mandates a port out within 4 hours and stores don't make $$ while doing these so their goal is to get you out of the door ASAP so they can focus on the revenue. So that's why + bribe factor

Think of it. You lost your phone and went to store and store employee or CS over the phone is able to issue you a SIM. Now the same employee takes bribe and give it to the hackers who use it to steal your fund

Efani CEO here. There are 100s of reviews online. Yes we've been able to defend against 100% of the SIM Swap attacks so far

It's still expensive to raise Series A. Like why isn't there a very standard document that can significantly reduce the cost of financing

Issue is that the amount of people who ACTUALLY use is for money transfer without the speculation part is very lil. Probably less than 1%

It really depends from miners to miners. As effectively it's about how cheap your energy cost is. Since there's no transport cost, your cost is to acquire cheaper energy.

If that's the case how do they detect if a message has been forwarded too many times ?

Absolutely but in US, you'll be surprised how much texting is still used

Yeah . We're not affiliated with either of them. Just shared for convenience of others

At least few dozen and multiple cases where legal notices were sent to claim ownership of the numbers by 3rd parties such as spouses or hostile take over of exotic numbers

There are dozens of data brokers if not less and you can google for them. There are dozens of data removal companies too. It's probably a billion dollar industry trading your personal info. We're neither a data broker not a data r

At the moment data source is super expensive so we had to cap daily inquiries. We're not a data broker so have limitations around what can be displayed and what can't be. Hopefully, we're able to create an API that companies

Hypothetically if your assumption is correct, this is the most expensive way to collect this information since there are dumps of data available on the dark web for pennies, while these queries are 100X more expensive. Criminals are tradin

Since Covid we moved remote and having a PO Box is good from Security POV too :)

English is my 4th language, but this isn't an excuse for typos, so I'll be more careful. So to answer the original question on how we can guarantee while other carriers are not. There are two common attacks to compromise your acco

We do have SS7 level protection but we're unable to offer it to consumers. About insurance, it's limited to Sim Swap/Port outs

Doxxing isn't a business idea :) But yes the goal is that people will upgrade to Efani Secure Mobile if they're security concious

Agree wording could be improved. For number harvesting, there are probably thousands of databased out there with far more info for almost free. We made an attempt to create awareness on how important your number is as in too many identities

by ahaseeb 4y ago
Your number may have been added randomly by some one there

by ahaseeb 4y ago
Yeah not a bad idea

how could it be more helpful

by ahaseeb 4y ago
you can search for services who'll give it to for sub $10

It may not accept 911. Text verification is to prevent abuse

Yeah. Tool goal was to create awareness around SIM Swap first

We use data broker APIs. Most of them could be found through simple google search. Not every data broker has all the info so it may be a combination of multiple. I know this request has came multiple times but it's hard to tell exact s

Do you ever share your personal number or what's the use case with 2 numbers ?
58.
by ahaseeb 4y ago
Yeah it's an immediate reaction since I share my number every where too
59.
by ahaseeb 4y ago
It may be. We buy if off data brokers that you can search too. We just make it simple to find the info

in bankruptcy courts, everything is pretty much thrown out and yes every company can update their ToS. For Efani Secure Mobile, we clearly tell how we make money. If the goal was to harvest the data, service could be super cheap to get peo
