"Guard Against SIM Swapping: Essential Tech Tip"

SIM-swapping is a rising form of identity theft where criminals take over your phone number to access personal and financial accounts. To protect yourself, use strong, unique passwords, enable multifactor authentication methods that don't rely on texts, set up a unique passcode with your carrier, and be vigilant against phishing schemes. If you fall victim, report the fraud to your carrier, the FTC, and credit agencies, and take steps to secure your financial accounts.
