Not in our case where we go through 11 step process. In addition to this our staff is highly trained and everytime a request is made, we assume it's an attack

ATT is built around selling you cheap plans and the SOPs are not that strong. There are 1000s of ports every days so they want to make it simple for their employees

People are generally lazy and it has happened to non-crypto folks too where other information was stolen

Through Efani.com we do take responsibility which is backed by $5M insurance policy.

Have happened to people having a bank account as well

I strongly recommend against Family plans because this connects your family to you which makes them vulnerable as well

Hey - I am Haseeb Founder of Efani. So we deploy atleast 11 ways to authenticate a user over couple of weeks to make sure that this is a legitimate request + use some manual & automated processes to kill any illegal attempt

Not yet, but soon we'll launch in Europe too

Doesn't have to be government but any one

This is a great find too

People can be bribed and that's the basic flaw

I've implemented something like this at Dontport. There are few work arounds but again security isn't something that's on top of traditional carrier because it's a problem with a small set of people

I still think the system is very much gameable. In US atleast it'll take lot of time. We still have to swipe cards and checks are accepted

As I mentioned before that it's just convenience. SMS based authentication is flawed and is also prone to SS7 Attacks but people just do it because it's simple. Nothing in the world is hack proof
165.

It's about convenience. 99% of the people will take convenience over security. Changing behaviour is difficult

Losing a bank card isn't as critical as losing a phone # so companies have to act quickly. Think about it - Can you live without your bank card for few days vs living without your #

Too long of a moon shot. Generally the T&C are limited to actual loss, like you lost your internet for 2 days so they'll reimburse you for 2 days of bill but not if you lost a business deal. Similarly in case of airline if you miss

Its just convenience over security. Lot of things can be done but then the extra burden that companies have to go through. Think about that people don't use app based authentication because it's inconvenient even though it matters

They generally run a cron job on your email to see what are the vulnerable accounts & then decide in order to which one is most important

More than that it's the amount of work and cost. Average consumer doesn't care about it so why fix something that's not broken. People won't pay more for it

OTP using an app has a very low adoption rate. You'll be surprised that even on crypto exchange 90% of the users don't have access to any kind of 2FA let alone Apps. Only less than .1% of the users have an app installed. It's

I've built something around it. It's not 100% but gets you to 99%. Dontport.com
173.
by ahaseeb 7y ago
DontPort.Com - I built this to fix this. I've been a victim of this 4 times and was too much frustrated. Unfortunately Sim swap is only one way to get your 2FA but the risks are much higher which I am working to solve one by one

How far has you gone and what’s your prediction model. Would it be an open source project ?

Won’t say I quit but I did make sure my job won’t come in my way of perusing oassions that I have. I am self employed on purpose

This looks great. Can you do custom designs as well
