I dont personally know anyone who has had a problem with CB. Im sure people who have a good experience don't post as much. What worries me is when a time sensitive issue arises (like a SIM swap and the hacker is getting into multiple accounts/emails withdrawing funds that you could stop in time) you won't be able to get ahold of a live person when every other company has customer service readily available. Especially in crypto because we're early and when you lose it its gone forever normally. It's not like a 401k or bank or credit card that has customer protections... yet

Use a fully separate clean email account for all your crypto stuff- with fully different passwords and usernames for all your crypto accounts. Expand to a different SIM/phone and new clean device specifically for crypto and strictly crypto only. (if you hold a large amount) Always a fresh new device from an established manufacturer- NEVER anything second hand. Do not trust DMs/emails you receive from anyone- hackers will stalk every crypto forum looking for potential victims. If you're here, you're a potential target. Even if you're locked down tight they may try get in through friends/family accounts so beware if someone starts asking for details or sends you files. Same rules applies if you run into an 'old school friend' - might be legit or might be a hacker who's dug through your social media to pull one over on you. (actually WHY are you putting so much of your life online??) Most computer "hacks" rely on human manipulation since the user is the easiest point of failure in any system. Engrave your master seed onto stainless/steel/titanium plate so it can survive a total loss event (fire/flood) on your end and you can recover your assets. Consider encrypting this/adding decoy words to it. Keep it in a sealed envelope so you'll know if its been compromised. Consider your next of kin- should the worst happen to you will they be able to readily benefit from your crypto assets? or they have pay an extortionate amount for someone to recover it? or worse the money is lost forever? Write a decoy seed in your hardware wallet's handbook- should this get stolen they'll stop searching and leave with the ''goods'' only to find out later its a dud. Never keep your seed or passwords on a digital device. A decoy seed on your device won't help security but the idea of a hackers wasting their time with a fake is kinda amusing to me.

Their whitepaper even agreed with me, by saying that: ​ > It would be possible for ticket-scalpers to sell a physical SIM card containing the smart tickets for an event. Which, also mean you can still resell it for a very high price, a little bit more inconvenient but not by much.

To disable 2FA they should require heavy verification. Selfie with ID card, bank statement, etc. Personally i like my stock broker's approach. They give you a recovery key when you sign up and only allow app based or yumi key 2FA. If you lose your phone you can use the recovery key to get your account back right away and reset your 2FA. If you dont have either you need to go through a very long verification process. Either way SIM based 2FA really isn't secure and should not be used anymore.

I didn't think anything of it until watching a few videos, I don't use Google Authenticator but in Authy it only goes to MY phone, so the only way to bypass my 2FA settings would be with a SIM swap attack. This is a long lengthy and unreliable way of gaining access, as they can only target 1 victim at a time and need to convince customer phone support to allow a SIM card swap to the hackers device, where they intercept the message. And because YT is owned by Google, I'm assuming the Google accounts were compromised, which as you said unless we aren't understanding 2FA properly, what's the point? That or someone at Google has some 'splainin to do.

They probably had recovery phone numbers and/or email accounts with weaker security. If you have a recovery phone number, you're vulnerable to a SIM swap even with a security key. Like I said, don't underestimate how stupid people can be with their cybersecurity.

If I were not an ethical hacker, what I would do is: 1. Obtain a dump of compromised accounts. 2. Through OSINT gather information I’d need to perform SIM swap. 3. SIM swap and then use the compromised creds associated to attempt logins to every financial account I could. Assuming the average user uses the same password for everything, I’d get some hits and hope they are using SMS for MFA instead of Google Auth.

No, it's not always the case that someone was SIM swapped. In the last publicized CB hack of over 6,000 accounts in a period of three months, there's no way all those were socially engineered SIM swaps. You know how long it can take to do ONE SIM swap on the phone with a cell phone customer service? And it rarely works on the first call. Multiply that by 6,000 accounts just to get the phone switched over. This more likely involves internal participation of a CB employee with Admin level access to the CB platform. They go into the CB customer directory and download all the customer log in info. Then they either go off site or give that info to someone off site to log into accounts and loot them. Also, did you ever wonder why CB customer service lies and deceives the thefts so vigorously? For such a large company, how can their customer service be so unprofessional? Because the data points to internal theft going on at CB. They have been caught for insider trading and wash trading before. And that's only what we know about. Internal theft isn't caught on the first time they steal. Since employees know the internal systems so well, it can be a long time before they are caught. But if you have thieves responsible for watching over thieves, then it can go on for years. In the last hack, CB announced that the hackers had penetrated the CB platform for 3+ months before they even knew about it! Talk about lousy security!

I thought that too but I'm pretty sure that is not the case. SIM card pin just locks the physical SIM. (Like maybe if your phone was stolen they can take it it to use in their device?) It doesn't lock an employee who is socially engineered from changing the number to a different SIM. You can call the provider to put a passcode on your account for any changes, but even then an employee can do whatever if you come up with a good enough story to trick them. The best way I've heard (besides doing it all) is to put a note on the account for it to be a high risk and need a physical I.D. for any changes... but even then... my grandma is on life support and my car broke down in the snow and I'm on my last quarter with this payphone and me and my 3 month old child are freezing in the middle of nowhere. Not to mention this volcanoe is starting to rumble :)

“This” times 4 for the top four comments… likely a password was reused leading directly to hackers checking it against every bank and exchange site they could. SIM hacks are especially common.

I'm not talking about man-in-the-middle type of attack, that one is worldwide but it's too hard to pull out. I'm talking about SIM swap which is what people are talking about, it's only possible because US telecomomnunication companies don't have any security measures in place. Government doesn't care either so there are no laws to follow to prevent it. In Europe and most countries a SIM swap is not possible without proper documentation. Most countries also have a cooldown for when the new SIM will be activated, so if for some remote reason someone is able to perform a SIM swap the victim will have like 2 days without service which I'm pretty sure he/she would notice.

Learn how to DCA in, and stick to it- this will reduce your risk. Chose an amount to invest and stick to it- if you think you'll need the money elsewhere (rent/food/bills/repairs etc) do NOT invest it, crypto is very volatile and you may have to sell at a loss to cover yourself.

.#1---2FA on everything, preferably connected to an email address that's used for nothing else- Bonus points if it's encrypted like Tutanota, ProtonMail, Mailfence etc and an authenticator .#2-- Pass/pin,pattern lock and encrypt on open for your phone,, your SIM and for all transactions on all applications and soft wallets...its annoying to have to do every time you open your phone, then again for the exchange app, then *again* for every transaction, *then again and again* for the wallet confirmation and back to the exchange but if your phones ever stolen or lost--Good fucking luck asshole, you got 3 tries to open my phone then it's bricked, then you have another 3 tries to open any of the important apps before they're locked, and if you put the physical SIM into another phone you got 3 tries too...Have fun with that .#3-- Never answer ANY solicitation from ANY place you keep money, via ANY mode of communication....Don't click a link in an email, don't field and interact with a call from your bank or credit cards etc, don't click a link or correspond via text. Hang up, take the credit or debit card out of your wallet,(or look up the official customer service number/email If it's crypto related and be careful it's the right site) use the number on the card and *CALL THEM BACK*. It's common for your bank or investment company or credit card or insurance or whatever to call you if there's a problem, you say "OK, thank you for notifying me about X, I'm going to hang up and call customer service back directly for security reasons" 100% of the time they will understand...if they get agitated or annoyed or pressure you to deal with it right that second that is a HUGE BLINKING RED FLAG that it's a scam. .#4 get a Hard Wallet and read every fuckin smart contract. That hard wallet should be used to send crypto to an exchange and back for sales and storage ONLY....STOP using the hard wallet to interact with metamask and staking and defi and trading, stop all that shit, you're just exposing yourself to a ton of smart contract risks, if you want to play around send it to a new soft wallet and interact with defi and dex and other apps through that, its annoying, and costs a little more in fees but if you have a boatload of money in a hardwallet and you want to stake your 8 Billion ShibaCum on DogCumCoin.Defi.yh-- Send that shit to a fresh wallet and limit your exposure, all you need is one fucked up scam contract that grants permissionless transactions to be approved on your hardwallet and you're fucked...just use it for storage.

It's quite obvious actually when you're involved in the right ecosystems and think about it how this is going to happen. Alot of people let the Cardano partnership with DISH network (parent company of boost mobile) just fly under the radar. It's actually a game changer because it enables EXACTLY what op is talking about on his thread. Ease of getting into crypto and ease of use. Cardano aims to have a decentralized ID(Atala prism), a wallet and a Dapp store integrated into users mobile phones and have them all seamlessly work together to give naive users the full crypto experience. Your DID is embedded in your SIM, and is at the same time your wallet, and is at the same time your access to the Dapp Store that will host hunderds of decentralized financial tools and blockchain apps for consumers to use. Cardano have also partnered with Tingo mobile in Nigeria to achieve the same ends. Combined its a 13 million person deal. I know this post won't get any love or attention, but it'll be nice to come back to when Cardano takes over the world in a couple years. Hehe.

Fantom has been exploding lately though it's a bit more safe than your "high risk, high reward" suggestion. Beyond Fantom, Harmony One falls along similar lines - it's basically only a quarter of a dollar right now. ​ For greater risk and potentially a very disruptive influence, I would suggest Dent. It is current around #150 on coinmarketcap and they are trying to create a global marketplace for buying/selling data, waiving the need to pay data roaming fees or changing SIM cards when you are traveling internationally. I think this could be enormous and considering it's so cheap, this fits the bill of the "high risk/high reward" play you are looking for. ​ Other suggestions - Decentraland, CRO, Helium, BAT, Theta, Tezos

If someone is susceptible to loosing their keys, they are likewise susceptible to phishing and SIM-swaps that will clean out their custodial account too. Self-custodianship is better, primarily, because it is a known quantity and there are clear ways to instruct users to keep keys safe. Custodial accounts are too varied to have any real singular method of security. Most of them simply rely on the fact that the tech-lead running tech support on any given Sunday won't screw things up.

1. Always use 2-factor authentication (2FA) on exchanges to minimize your risk of having accounts compromised. 2. When using 2FA, go with a device-based solution such as Authenticator or Authy, rather than SMS based. The risk of a SIM-swap attack is small but not negligible. 3. To be extra safe, create unique new emails to use with all exchange accounts, rather than your usual email. A hacker can't compromise your email address if nobody knows that it exists. 4. Always send a test transaction first. And triple-check your seed, to make sure it's the correct one. 5. If you're getting excited when reading about a new project, you're doing it the wrong way. You should never be excited about a project or emotional about an investment. DYOR means "do your own research," but always do it as if you're looking for problems or holes in their plan. Start off by being as critical as you can about a project. Listen to the people who are attacking the project and try to see if their criticism is valid. 6. The blockchain is permanent and immutable. Remember that. This has advantages and disadvantages. Money is supposed to be fungible. 7. Most people don't realize how important privacy is. See point 6. The pursuit of privacy doesn't mean that you have criminal intent. So don't post any identifying info on reddit, and remember that most blockchain transactions will be visible forever.

With the hardware wallet, if somehow they did get it, you can give them a different access code so they only see a tiny fraction of the funds.

After enrollment, we recommend configuring another Authy app elsewhere (your phone and a tablet, computer, or another phone) in case you ever get a new phone, and need to recover your account. After you have setup two Authy app installations, we strongly suggest disabling multi-device. Doing this will prevent an attacker from being able to configure an Authy app with your account on another device. > There are account recovery options outside of multi-device, but those require the attacker to compromise your primary email. These also take a minimum of 24 hours, during which you would receive email notifications, and could request a cancellation. > Authenticator tokens are also encrypted, so without your strong password, it's unlikely an attacker would be able to decrypt them.

they call your mobile phone provider, impersonate you, say they're activating new phone with a new sim and the carrier ports the number over to their device. You have SMS 2FA on so when they try to log in to your account and say they lost their password the exchange/bank sends a one time code or password to reset to your phone number which is now on their device (you won't get the text because your SIM in your phone is deactivated). Then they log in and it's all gone. The mobile carriers are also to blame because they aren't doing a good enough job to verify the number port is actually you. But the scammer will have your name, DOB, email, etc so it's easy to see how an underpaid worker won't think too much about it.

It took me a day or two to realize that they had transfered my number to another SIM and we're intercepting my texts and calls. What a pain to get it transfered back. They kept saying that it wasn't transfered, but they could see my SIM as an old one on the account. I'm the end I did get back into Coinbase and remove my checking account from it.
