Finally got back my T-mobile account (yes, it was a sim swap, meaning that someone socially-engineered T-mobile itself to take over my phone number).

Do you guys think mobile companies keep a list of high profile, likely targets for sim swaps? I would hope so but this makes me think they most certainly don’t, at least not T mobile 😒

Given T-Mobile's history, I would anticipate such a list would inevitably get leaked and simply end up as a list of high-priority targets.

T Mobile is only concerned with signing up new numbers. Their security practices are sub par. I recently went through hoops with them and it's clear they are easily confused by their own policies and prone to manipulation.
