eSIM was designed so that it cannot be stolen and there is no hassle of a physical SIM card, but now hackers have started breaking into people's phones and bank accounts using eSIM only. Hackers are taking advantage of a flaw in eSIM and porting people's SIM cards to their phones. This is really a shocking report but it is also true.
Cybersecurity firm claimed
Russian cyber security firm FACCT has claimed in one of its reports that till now hackers have tried to port the eSIM of more than 100 people. Earlier, hackers used to break into the databases of telecom companies by using social engineering to port people's SIM cards.
What is eSIM?
eSIM is a software-based SIM card that is installed on the phone by scanning the QR code. At present, the e-SIM facility is available only on premium phones, but it is gradually becoming popular. By porting eSIM, your bank account, crypto wallet, etc. can be emptied and someone can also be defrauded in your name.
FACCT has asked eSIM users to keep the security of their phones strong. It is suggested to keep the password complex. Also, keep your bank account password safe with two-factor authentication.
