SIM SWAP FRAUD PREVENTION

Hi, so I just read a crypto horror story about emails and exchange accounts being compromised by identity theft aka sim swapping and cryptos being stolen. So I just called my phone provider and added a second security question for the case of someone trying to do the sim swapping.
The lady told me that anyone who has the pincode for my phone provider could theoretically do the identity theft. So my suggestion to everyone in the cryptospace is to call up your provider and ask for an added security layer in form of a question only you know the answer to.
Have a good day and keep Hodling! :)
