No signal: the warning sign you should not ignore #Shorts

Has your phone lost service and you do not know why? It could be the first sign of a SIM swap.

In this scam, someone convinces your carrier to transfer your number to another SIM or device. From that moment on, they can receive SMS codes and try to recover your email, social media or even bank accounts.

If the loss of service persists and does not seem to be an outage, contact your carrier through another channel and check your most sensitive accounts first. Enable a SIM lock or port-out lock, use a long, unique PIN for your mobile account and, whenever possible, replace SMS with an authenticator app, passkeys or a security key.

Your number confirms that you control a phone line; it should not prove who you are on its own.
