Abstract

SIM swapping is not a new technique, according to Vijay Anand, a professor at the University of Missouri St. Louis, but its effects on individuals have become more severe because of the new ways people use their phones.

"We have tied our identity to our phone numbers in a very significant way over the last 5 years to 10 years," Anand said.
