Map the Account Damage After a SIM Swap

    Map the damage from the SIM swap before tackling each account.

    What to do

      • List every account that uses SMS for 2FA or password reset (banks, email, crypto, social)
      • Check those accounts' Recent activity for unfamiliar logins around the time you lost signal
      • Check the email tied to the carrier account for password-reset alerts you didn't request
      • Note the exact time signal dropped — banks and the carrier need this for the dispute
