Enable SIM Lock

Lock your phone SIM

  • Sim locking

    • Feature that is most commonly overlooked.

    • Requires authentication for accessing a SIM.

  • An attack becoming more common is that a bad actor will attempt to socially engineer your service provider and convince them into sending the bad actor, a replacement SIM. This will in turn allow them to receive your calls, SMS, and any OTP / 2FA SMS authentication messages.

  • Android, for example, has the SIM locking feature in “settings”. You can enable this and set a pin for authentication to unlock the SIM.
