CTIA Members Say They Have Been Vigilant on Fighting SIM Fraud

CTIA and member companies updated the FCC Wireline Bureau on the latest on SIM swap and port-out fraud, the topic of a rulemaking last year (see 2112150018). “CTIA and its members take consumer fraud seriously and continue to work to stay ahead of bad actors with innovative security approaches,” said a filing posted Monday in docket 21-341: “While over 99% of SIM swap and port-out requests are legitimate, CTIA’s members remain committed to combatting and deterring fraud attempts that do occur.” AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon and UScellular participated in the call.
