AT&T store worker gets 16 months inside for SIM-swap side hustle
A former AT&T retail worker in Portland, Oregon received a 16-month federal prison sentence for using store system access to perform SIM swaps on customer accounts. The swaps enabled cybercriminals to intercept authentication codes and steal from victims' bank accounts.
