A former manager at a telecommunications company in New Jersey pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges for accepting money to perform unauthorized SIM swaps that enabled an accomplice to hack customer accounts.

    Isn’t this also going into cyberattack / responsible disclosure territory? They might be opening themselves up to a class action with this.

      Right, I think the clients of the telecom company should know if someone was sim swapping their accounts. Then again, they might have already been told.

        If it’s only 5 that’s true. That said those 5 can file.

        Also I’m curious if there is another claim potentially in class action for all other clients whom thid wasn’t disclosed to…
