Some small investors have lost cryptocurrency holdings after hackers hijacked their phone numbers
Mr. Lee said most customers for the firms, which dominate the domestic wireless market, have postpaid plans that could have different security measures.
“A lot of these hacking things are happening because of social engineering,” he added, referring to hackers tricking or co-opting wireless employees., often duping multifactor authentication measures based on text messages. A British man in 2019 allegedly stole $784,000 from a crypto-infrastructure firm in New York using a SIM swap, according to an indictment unsealed this month.
T-Mobile declined to comment on the suit but motioned to move the case to arbitration. Like Verizon and AT&T, the company requires arbitration to resolve disputes in its terms of service, often leading to closed-door settlements.If you come to [prosecutors] with a $1 million loss, you’ll get their attention. If you come to them with a $10,000 or $20,000 loss, you might not.
Coinbase, the largest U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange, uses machine-learning models to predict risks to users who request password changes, restricting trades on suspicious accounts, a company official said. Real-time SIM-swap data from carriers would help Coinbase’s screening process, the official added, but not all providers share information quickly. He declined to name them.
