AT&T has launched a new security feature called Wireless Account Lock designed to protect customers from SIM swapping attacks and account takeovers. This feature allows users to lock their accounts, preventing unauthorized access by malicious actors attempting to hijack wireless accounts through SIM cloning techniques. The rollout follows similar initiatives by other carriers such as T-Mobile, Verizon, and Google Fi. The Wireless Account Lock is available for free and aims to enhance customer security amid rising concerns over sophisticated digital scams involving SIM swaps, which have been used to fraudulently access accounts and make unauthorized purchases.
