Fun fact, the person who stole the sim probably worked for the carrier, or used someone who worked at the carrier that they either knew or had leverage over. You already have to verify your identity to the carrier if you want to make changes to your account, and while you might be able social-engineer your way past it, but I would be shocked if someone like Jack Dorsey didn't have a password associated with his account that is required to make changes. Saying the carrier needs to be sure before making changes is useless if the person at the carrier is circumventing it. Plus they already do it. |

My personal experiences and various accounts I've heard make this "might" shift to "fairly easily". Why are you so confident that it has to be someone with inside knowledge?

I do not share your trust. I'd be shocked if he didn't NOW, but you are basing your assumption off of what...that he recognized his status as a high profile target? Were that the case I doubt this vulnerability would have existed.
