Napakalit Ako Sa SIM Swap Scam
Naging Target Ako
Noong Biyernes, may SMS ako mula sa short code na tila ni Venmo: ‘Ang iyong account ay nasa panganib. I-verify agad.’ Limang minuto pagkatapos, tawag mula sa Texas number—’Mason’ mula sa Coinbase Support. Mayamot, empatiko, urgente. Alam niya ang aking buong pangalan at SSN.
Ang Playbook ng Pagmamali
Una: SIM swap via SMS (fake short code). Pansin: spoofed caller ID. Tatlo: fake Coinbase email na tila real domain. Apat: ‘Coinbase Vault’—gumamit ng legit name. Lima: ginamit ang SafePal bilang bait. Anim: urgency—’24-hour account lock’. Pero hindi FDIC-insured ang crypto!
Bakit Nakamtan Ako?
Ako’y trained… pero sobrang precision nila. Nagmixture ng totoo (email ko) at fiksiyon (Coinbase Vault). Nag-cite ng whitepaper protocols.
Ang Totoo Na Depensa
Huwag sagutin unsolicited calls o texts—kahit alamin nila ang pangalan mo. I-enable ang 2FA sa lahat ng exchange. Gamitin ang password manager. Itago ang assets sa cold wallet—hindi ibahagi ang mnemonic! Bookmark lang ang opisyal na URL.

سیم سویپ کا مکر؟ اے تو بھی کرپٹو ہے! جب تجھے ایک SMS آئے کہ “اکاؤنٹ خطرے میں ہے”، تو نے سوچا کہ “میرا نام پتہ لگ رہا”… لیکن دوست! جب تجھے انسانِ فون پر “Mason from Coinbase” سنائی دے، تو نے ان سے پُچھا: “تمام کون ہو؟” ورنہ تمام نمازِ بارشِ شد۔ اس طرح تو کرپٹو میں مرد بن رہا۔
I almost handed over my private key to a man who knew my SSN… and called me ‘Mason’ from Coinbase. His SSL cert? Valid. His tone? Calm as a monk meditating on blockchain tea. The real scam wasn’t malware—it was trust dressed as tech support. I’m not mad… I’m flattered by how elegant the lie was.
Pro tip: If they say ‘verify now’ and know your dog’s name—run WHOIS on their domain before you blink.
What’s your defense protocol? Not clicking links—even if they look like art.
ตอนนั้นฉันคิดว่ามันเป็น Coinbase จริงๆ… จนถึงขั้นตอบกลับไปเลย! เขาพูดชื่อฉันครบ สี่หลัก SSN เหมือนรู้จักฉันตั้งแต่เกิด! แต่พอเช็ค SSL แล้ว… มันใช้ Let’s Encrypt นะฮะ? เดี๋ย! อันตรีที่แท้จริงไม่ใช่มัลแวร์… มันคือ “ความเชื่อ” ที่คนเขาหลอกให้ไว้วางใจ 😅 อย่าเพิ่งตอบสายเลยนะครับ — เก็บมโนมเนติกไว้ในกระเป๋าเย็นดีกว่า! 👻🔐 #Web3ปลอดภัย
