Actors will circumvent two-factor authentication steps to take on valuable accountscatastrophic impersonationAt T now faces a lawsuit accused of failing to do enough to avoid Sim swapping attacks on its clients. More specifically Seth Shapiro, a California resident, has filed a lawsuit in the court of his district demanding a jury trial. His demands include the payment of monetary damages punitive damages termination of At T’s unsafe practices and the implementation of security measures to protect sensitive customer data. As the man clarifies he has several times fallen victim to the same attackers, losing $1.8 million in both money and cash in general. Shapiro was robbed, threatened with ransom and abused at multiple levels in general. The telecommunications giant declined to address the issue despite his numerous reports to At T and conduct an internal investigation to find out which employees were involved in the fraud. Mr. Shapiro got hacked four times in total. He was given a new telephone number by At T after the first two events that took place on the same day only to be hijacked again after a while. Based on the investigative results that followed two employees of Arizona At T helped facilitate the Sim swapping assault and were bribed with the sums of $4300 and $585.25, respectively. It is clear that At T does not track what its workers are doing with the resources to which they have access and does not control them and does not acknowledge any responsibility when evidence of such behavior arises.
