SIM Swap - simple, yet extremely effective fraud - is contentiously on the rise. With an increase of 60% between 2016 and 2018, just in the UK, SIM Swapping has become the bane of modern mobile-centric lifestyle and two-factor authentication. 
All a criminal has to do is gain some level of personal information about the victim to convince a mobile carrier to transfer a phone number to a blank SIM.
