What is one cybersecurity attack that is growing and is one of the more potent attacks? Check out the discussion in the video What Are Sim-Swaps (Sim-Swap Attacks)? As a caution, be careful about cybersecurity professionals who are quick to discover one attack when in reality the attack they discovered is a diversion. Sim-swap attacks are not the diversion in this case, but given few people are aware of them, they can usually stay hidden if the attacker diverts by other means.
Some points that we discuss in the video:
- Why is sim-swapping even allowed in the first place?
- What is one fact about sim-swaps that's described as "spooky" and should be a major warning to everyone?
- What are some example targets early of sim-swap attacks?
- What does convenience mean in security?
Coming in the year 2021, we will be discussing data and security in regards to ETL in the highest-rated Automating ETL course on Udemy. Getting data and using it in meaningful ways is one challenge, securing it is another challenge. For a coupon to the course, check out the trailer video on the channel SQL In Six Minutes.
Because hackers have a variety of techniques surrounding swim-swap attacks, they can directly attack the user or mobile company and perform these. Thanks to linkability, hackers can easily get information on you that makes it easy to attack you with sim-swaps - whether through social engineering, server attacks, or other means. Keep in mind with mobile spoofing (another attack type), they may not need to even go as far as a sim-swap attack.

Expect security challenges to grow. From MFA attacks to social engineering to behavioral attacks, I consult in some areas of security for firms needing help in specific areas. I will only do this for firms who already have an existing internal security team and are looking at additional consultants to test their security model in these domains. You can contact for assistance in these security domains. Before you reach out, you must watch Who Hacks and Why and have an assessment from this video on who your major threats are. As a note, I do not cover all domains in security, so you'll want to ensure that the areas of security I list are ones where you need assistance.
