Hello,
since yesterday I've been receiving a very large number of SMS saying:
info FREE:
1664 you requested to change the email address for your mobile account. please enter the verification code. (highlighted code)
I want to point out that I have neither requested a change of email address nor responded to any messages.
info FreeMobile: We confirm that the email address and password for your account have been successfully changed, following your request.
Out of curiosity, I go online and to the freemobile portal to try to log in with the passwords provided by email, failure.
A curious feeling takes hold of me, I call Free and I'm told that the contact address has changed again and that consequently, someone is trying to hack my account.
This morning and this afternoon, I must have called Free at least 4 times, and each time I received different advice.
You need to block your bank account. (which I did immediately)
The next time they said it wasn't necessary sir (too late)
You need to get your SIM card redone with the same number. darn it, it's like going through an obstacle course to find a kiosk)
Then the last call:
You did well to block your account, but it’s not necessary to redo the SIM card!
My account has been unlocked by Free and an email has been sent with new credentials.
But I'm still receiving the famous SMS titled (1664 like the beer) you requested to change the email address for your mobile account. please enter the verification code. (highlighted code)
I still don't respond; the hackers are still at work on the other side of the screen. They're looking for that infamous code that will link to my bank account!!
Oops! I've just received another one.
Best regards

No matter how high you climb, you always end up in ashes.

Attention, this type of SIM card hacking allows the hacker not only to make online payments but especially to initiate transfers from your bank account to external accounts in banks that validate them using the "3D secure" procedure.
For example: at LCL. This happened to a friend of mine.
In this case, the amounts at stake can escalate quickly...
In her case, the SIM card hacking would have occurred following the simple opening of a text message...
