Security Measures 1
The security measures to protect mobile users against SIM cloning fraud include
Safeguard your SIM card: Keep your SIM card in a secure location and avoid sharing it with others. Report any lost or stolen SIM cards to your service provider immediately.
Set PIN and PUK codes: Enable Personal Identification Number (PIN) and Personal Unblocking Key (PUK) code (an eight-digit unique number assigned to a SIM card, available as a security feature for all SIM cards) on your SIM card to add an extra layer of protection.
Use strong passwords: Create strong, unique passwords for your mobile accounts and change them regularly. Avoid using easily guessable information.
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA): Implement 2FA using methods other than SMS-based verification, such as email authentication app-based authenticators, or hardware tokens.
Be cautious with personal information: Avoid sharing sensitive personal information, such as your mobile number, on public platforms or with unknown individuals.
Update your mobile device: Regularly update your mobile device's operating system and applications to patch security vulnerabilities and protect against known exploits.
