This just twigged something for me - there is now enough information available to easily do number ports, giving someone else control of the number used for MFA. Anything that relies on your number to verify account actions, transactions, etc is now at risk.

Absolutely, and you can bet this is going to happen once this dataset is sold off.
Luckily (buried at the bottom of their announcement), at least for the moment sim swaps, ports, etc are in-person, in-store with physical ID only.
