Zero-Hour Incident Response: Surviving a Targeted SIM-Swap and Identity Takeover
Imagine your phone suddenly losing service while your inbox floods with password reset alerts as an attacker systematically hijacks your digital life. Powered by massive leaks like the National Public Data breach, cybercriminals already possess foundational data like SSNs and addresses—and can easily use SIM swaps to bypass SMS two-factor authentication. When standard customer support fails, you become your own zero-hour incident responder.
Based on firsthand experience with a targeted identity theft campaign, this session breaks down exactly how these exploits work and how to defeat them. We will examine:
The Anatomy of the Attack: How criminals use leaked broker data to trick cell carriers, manipulate credit bureaus, and sweep through your accounts.
Active Containment: What to do when you are under fire and standard customer support loops fail completely.
Locking Down the Perimeter: The exact steps to freeze your credit instantly and move off fragile SMS authentication for good.
Leave this session with a practical checklist to audit your personal data exposure and a custom security application stack to make yourself an impossible target.
