Garder le contrôle là-dessus, c'est juste du gros bon sens. (1/2)

You can keep a separate phone number for situations where you don't fully trust the other party. Your real number is the recovery key for your bank account and receives your verification codes for Gmail, your power company, your investment platform. Sharing it everywhere is an unnecessary attack surface. (1/2)

A man had $21,000 taken from his bank.
This is how I protect myself.
1. Don't use SMS 2 factor authentication.
2. Use password protected 2FA app Aegis
3. My authorization app is not on my phone it's on a tablet or old phone that has no cell service.
If someone sim swaps me it will NOT give them access to my bank account.
4. I have my phone service locked with a SIM pin. #Security #simswap
