I was reading an article on password security today and saw a discussion in the comments about hackers bypassing 2FA with what a user described as a “simple” SIM replica. I have friends that work in data security so this isn’t the first I’ve heard of this but I feel like either this is the phenomenon where professionals in an industry understate part of a task (ie. Any “5 minute life hack” video involving 3 or more power tools.) or that there must already be some other system compromise that enables the hacker to -also- acquire whatever is needed to duplicate your SIM card.
