    The SIM Swap *fraud* as it would be better named.

    I'm a Johnny knows all, but last night( I couldn't sleep for obvious reasons) I read about the Pin Locking of Sims for first time( Live and learn, what!)
    Sure enough it's available on my OP3. So did it - had to get a PUK code first from telecommunications company.
    So now, when I boot/restart, I have to enter two pins( pin unlock then phone unlock) - no big deal, there.( of course, if you remove the SIM, you only have to unlock the phone, but if you now reinsert the SzIM you have to enter its pin)

    Can a security expert/professional tell me/us if this SIM lock secures against SIM fraud, as has been suggested elsewhere?

    If yes, why haven't telecommunications companies insisted we use SIM lock, before we use the network?

    No.
    Instead of being so cryptic, enlighten by PP, as you might be off topic

    SIM Lock defends against someone with physical unauthorised access to the SIM at startup time.
    SIM Fraud is where access to your mobile number is made by typically transferring service to another physical SIM card which would not have the SIM lock PIN active on it.

    So from what I understand this is not the first time when our personal information are being neglected and not properly secured. I just change phones and said to give a go to oneplus an my new adventure started wrong from day one with OnePlus because my phone it was delivered to the wrong address and when phone customer service it was ok my first call and after they made it harder to find my phone.

    You don't know for certain who leaked your detail?

    What is OTP?

    Tell your credit/dbit card providers immediately.

    Tell your bank and all your financial providers.

    Tell your telecommunications and IP provider.

    Lock your SIM and don't use your mobile if you think your SIM swap fraud.

    Contact who you think leaked your data.

    Change PWs everywhere.

    Do all above comms by secure land line/snail mail or a trusted secure PC/phone.

    Etc

    and goog luck.

    What's OTP?
    Are you sure this is because of the hack of OnePlus? I mean, beside the fact it's happening now, do you have something that leads you to that conclusion?

    Did you get refunds from your credit/debit card company?

    Have you, before this leak, used your cards yourself on the ********* website?

    Have you been SIM Swap frauded?

    LeKeiser , Nov 27, 2019 :
    So it's an acknowledgement when you're buying something online, the bank sends you a code that you have to enter to validate a transaction, right?
    Thing is, I would say that it's not a sim swap hack since you still have your phone and you're still receiving SMS/text messages to validate a transaction. A sim swap hack, if I understand it properly, means someone has taken over your SIM and you don't have any network from our provider anymore because someone has taken over a SIM that's been affected to you. So all the OTPS or text messages sent from anyone or your bank or... will not show on your phone anymore, but on the one the hacker is using.
    But again, I might be totally wrong, but I don't think so.

    I agree with you.

    And I'm beginning suspect the leak has occurred at the ********** website, not necessarily at OP?

    No, because SIM Fraud is typically not based upon physical access to your SIM card

    So it's been a week now. And I haven't seen/read any news from OnePlus.
    I really thought that this time, OnePlus would communicate a lot more. Meaning... a bit more than last time.

    Opt out of your own online store. Leave professionals in the field, sell strictly through third-party online stores. Employees capable people, I don't think it's that hard to secure an online account and what's going on there. It is no pleasure to go to change cards, to find out that your personal data is on the hand I do not know who, especially from a brand with claims to the premium segment. The BBK group is not so poor not to afford an extra security or who knows, there is no interest...

    That's a good question. I think last time, the payment information was hacked too. OnePlus is saying : not this time. And the passwords are safe too.
    Hope they are right.
    But I'm still waiting for some news now.
