Forget cryptojacking, SIM hijacking now seems set to become even more lucrative for criminals looking to cash in with bitcoin from the burgeoning space.


SIM hijacking has absolutely nothing to do with cryptojacking, they are completely different kinds of attacks and the only thing they have in common is the word "jacking". So, why should we forget cryptojacking?

This attack is not new, it has been around for years and people who are into security know that mobile authentification is weak and things like google authentificator should be used instead.
