Haseeb Awan<\/p>\n
Haseeb has a background in Telecom Engineering. After being targeted by a sim swapper he looked at the weaknesses in existing mobile operators. He then designed a secure solution for his personal use. After growing interest from his network, Haseen founded efani, the most secure, private mobile operator in the U.S.<\/p>\n
The potential ROI for sim-swap attackers is massive. Crypto is an attractive target that can be turned into dollars. The sim-swap attack is easy to execute and doesn\u2019t require coding skills.<\/p>\n
Once an attacker has control of a phone account, they are often able to gain access to a victim\u2019s email account, Google Drive, passwords and more.<\/p>\n
With crypto prices tracking up, it\u2019s an excellent time to review your security practices. If prices continue to rise more bad actors will be incentivized to target crypto holders.<\/p>\n
Mobile phone support staff are underpaid and overworked and are not well trained against sophisticated social engineering attacks. All of the information an attacker needs to know to begin a social engineering attack can be purchased on the dark web.<\/p>\n
efani will transfer your existing number to efani and separate your personal information from your telephone number. Efani enforces 11-layers of military-grade client-side integrity, privacy and authentication protection.<\/p>\n
Efani is not for everyone, the company is a boutique solution for those who understand the value of privacy and security.<\/p>\n
