That would be ideal but it's not as easy as it sounds. I'll have to go through the hassle of informing all usual contacts that I've changed numbers and most importantly, update my number with proof of ownership on any government related services and bank accounts. It's a real hassle I wouldn't go through the trouble.
While it’s a heavy lift, consider enabling additional security layers like app-based authenticators or biometrics for critical accounts to minimize risks if your number is ever misused.
Binance has issued an official announcement regarding the phishing SMS messages shortly after I received the second SMS. It seems that things have calmed down for the time being.
It’s frustrating how these incidents can undermine trust in platforms. Staying cautious and reporting suspicious messages and websites is a proactive way to protect the broader community.
You’re handling this well, stay safe, and thanks for raising awareness!
