There was this article: The

question is obvious - is it even possible? Is it possible to make a copy of a SIM card, hack a SIM card and a phone remotely on a call and, as a result, hack a personal bank account?

Is such a hack possible? If possible, how? And most importantly, how to protect yourself from such a similar?

Only I don’t understand why he even had to call.
Hacking remotely "by phone" is unlikely.

Answer 4

As far as we managed to find out, knowing the phone number and full name, you can pirate by making a copy of the SIM phone. Well, with the help of it, you can do the most:
- empty the account of a plastic card that is tied to the phone by default, without knowing the card number;
- empty all plastic cards that are tied to the phone, but you also need to know the card numbers, at least the last 4 digits.
The remaining tricks of the attackers are very hemorrhoids and are practically impossible. If they do not have assistants in mobile phone stores or in the same bank where the client is registered.
By the way, at the expense of depleting plastic card accounts, banks set limits on daily transfers, so that the actions of intruders can also be tracked and theft of funds can be prevented.

Answer 5

- “keep it on the line for a few more seconds, we find out the location”
Well, actually, you can make a clone of a SIM card, but you can’t have two subscribers with the same identifiers on the network, so there is a place to be speed.
In addition, this is a targeted attack, so I warned myself well against this by registering the main SIM card for linking bank clients and other services to my father, and to myself as a “leftist” for calls, spam and ordering pizza. So my fears about the scoundrels in the Beelines, merging numbers for one or two, were confirmed.
