I have become aware that my mobile provider has had an increase in unauthorised SIM swaps and PAC transfers.
This is made worse by not having any telephone support and an up to 24 hour wait for an online response.
This gives the hackers time to cause financial havoc which may not be resolved for days/weeks.
So . . . . My question is, which UK mobile networks have a rapid response to unauthorised SIM swaps/PAC transfers?
Which providers carry out extra checks to make sure that the SIM swap/PAC request is from the genuine account owner in the first place? Currently all it takes is to request the transfer via email and within a few minutes your number is in the hands of someone else which can be used to reset passwords on many other online accounts effectively locking you out.
This is just one example of many sadly
