Friend.tech adds new security upgrade in wake of SIM-swap attacks

The team behind the decentralized social media platform Friend.tech has added a new security feature amid attempts to stem a flood of SIM-swap attacks targeting its users. Friend.tech users will be prompted to add another password in when signing onto new devices. The latest change follows several SIM-swap attacks targeting Friend.tech users since September. On Sept. 30, “Froggie.eth” was among the first in a string of Friend.tech users to be compromised by a SIM-swap attack, urging others to stay vigilant. More Friend.tech users came forward with similar stories in the following days, with an estimated 109 Ether (ETH $1,587), worth around $172,000, stolen from four users within a week.
