Oddbean new post about login | logout An important episode about the risks of getting SIM swapped and how to protect your accounts. I was inspired to do this episode after several of my #Bitcoin friends were targeted in these attacks and told me about Efani as a security solution. https://youtu.be/9Bwq91ASqnk?si=l1mOVxe9z3H8V14w
If you do self-custody right a sim swap doesn't affect you.
I've always recommended individuals have a separate number, preferably not in their own name, to use with their financial accounts. If my known cell phone number gets swapped, they don't have access to anything except my closed Twitter account. You still have an issue if one of your financial institutions have a data breach or the number gets reported to credit bureaus. So you can still be connected to the number you're using. That's where a service that can lock down your number like Efani can be helpful. nostr:note1cm00zs7uy0jxa9hc7qh4cgkfvvthydys6jrseyerh87pxztu299skdwmt3
Cloaked Wireless solves this problem
Apparently Cloaked Wireless resells ATT and unfortunately ATT has horrible service in my area. Verizon is great in my area though and Efani uses Verizon and ATT so I'm going with Efani.
