A SIM swapping scam occurs when a fraudster convinces your mobile carrier to transfer your phone number to a new SIM card they control. With access to your number, they intercept calls and texts, potentially compromising your two-factor authentication (2FA) codes. This allows them to reset passwords and access your email, banking, and social media accounts, leading to serious financial and personal data losses.
