imagine for a second that your phone suddenly loses service what would you do you might try turn your data off and then turning it back on again if that doesn't work you might even try turning the phone off giving it a second and then powering the entire device back on it's a trick that solves nearly every problem it doesn't solve this one you can't call your phone service provider because you have no service and it's too late to go to a retail store as they've all closed so you let the situation sit hoping it's just a problem with the cell tower and you go to sleep the next day you still don't have service when you get to the store the sales clerk tells you your phone was reported stolen we ported the number over to a new SIM card yesterday but you've had your phone in your possession the whole time so that couldn't be true unless somebody stole your phone number once you get it back and get your service running again get a flood of emails all the passwords your most important accounts have been changed any cryptocurrency you had is now gone you have messages from family and friends confirming that they sent money to you to an unrecognized bank account this is the absolute worst case scenario in a hack called sim jacking sim jacking doesn't have to be as devastating as this example might imply but there's one thing that shouldn't be overlooked phone numbers were never meant to be used as a method of authentication phone numbers would never intended to be secure they were never intended to be passwords were to use dedication it's almost as if nobody told us don't ever give out your cell phone number because it's more valuable than your social security number or your passport number or your mother's maiden name but it is if there's one thing cybersecurity experts agree on its that phone numbers are important more important now than they've ever been because they weren't always so important for cell phones most households had only one landline per resident but when cell phones came around everything changed phone numbers became individualized that individualization meant that a phone number could be more than just a phone number in the late 90s phone numbers started being used as identification there's been this migration towards well then this number is associated with a person so it can identify them and then from that identifying we've sort of migrated oh we can authenticate the user based on if they have this phone number access to this phone number and really the technology was never intended and that's part of the problem and truth be told it wasn't really a problem in the late 90s it was functional convenient and mostly secure because our phones were just that phones but now our phones are like magic rectangles that we've run our whole lives out...
