Abstract
SIM card cloning is a cyber-attack that is increasing dramatically in number. The Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) holds the crucial user data required to establish a connection between several telecom companies. Concerns about user security and privacy are growing as the usage of smartphones and the Internet has increased worldwide in the technology industry. Therefore, it is imperative for all users to understand cybercrime and security. This study analyzed the emerging trends and challenges associated with these threats, highlighting real-world risks and repercussions through case studies. As mobile devices continue to play an integral role in our lives, they have become lucrative targets for cybercriminals seeking unauthorized access to personal and corporate data. Cybercrime that uses telecom technology to steal information and exploit victims, known as phishing is discussed. Innovative security solutions and best practices that aim to counteract SIM card vulnerabilities, protect user identities, and safeguard sensitive information are also discussed. By examining legal frameworks, preventive measures, and technological advancements, this study serves as a valuable resource for security professionals, policymakers, and individuals seeking to fortify mobile security defenses.
