[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1848116, member: 396914"] Basically, then, Canada has a law that allows SIM card fraud and prohibits the victim from protecting themselves. Nice. (Not) I went to my provider, Verizon, and put on 2FA on any change in my account. But the Verizon 2FA uses email for the confirmation, not the device, so any change that is tried by a fraudster is going to get baulked because the email comes to me, not to them. Too bad Canada doesn't allow that. As for people claiming ultimate security, bloggers are free to use whatever terms they want. And any blogger or pundit who uses the term "ultimate security" has lost all credibility just for that. I tend to read what the vendors say, as there is some responsibility on their part to get it right. Or at least try. [/QUOTE]
