Originally appearing in Communications Daily on Feb. 15, 2024, Howard Buskirk quotes Margot Saunders, senior attorney at the National Consumer Law Center, in coverage of a push for the Federal Communications Commission to take a more aggressive stance against SIM swapping and port-out fraud.
The FCC must clarify that carriers, “the only parties in these frauds with the means to protect consumers from losses, are liable in SIM swap and port-out fraud cases. The threat of individual, occasional enforcement actions from the Commission is not sufficient to compel carriers to protect consumers. Otherwise, these problems would not be so severe today.”
