Yeah, last time it was a sim swap, this time...
I was literally making diner like an hour ago and I heard my phone beep. I went to check it and I see an email that is a sign in notification from my email client. At first I thought it was a phishing email. Then I noticed another email saying that I changed my Coinbase password. I see a notification from the Coinbase app on my phone saying that I changed my password. I realize that these are not fake. I pop open my laptop and try to sign in to Coinbase and I can not. So I disable my Coinbase account.
The email from my phone says that it used my phone number to access my acount using a one-time passcode. I have my phone and called it using a burner. WTF?
I kept getting a notification from my visual voice mail app that it couldn't connect. I realized I never set the PIN on it. So I set the PIN.
Could someone have retrieve a one-time pass code to my phone and retrieved it via voicemail? I checked my texts and had no one-time pass codes.
I'm freaking out...

After setting the PIN on my voicemail, the notifications have gone away.
I also use a auth app for Coinbase which confuses me on how they passed that.
Also, my email client show that a laptop running Windows access the account. I signed it out.

Who ever did it also set a enhancement to send Coinbase emails to my trash.
They accessed my email and changed my Coinbase password in the same minute. I locked my Coinbase account 11 minutes later. I don't think they were able to send anything because I use an authenticator app and I received the email about my account being disabled but didn't receive any about funds being sent.
I still want to know how they did it...
Somehow they were able to receive a code that was sent to my phone that I currently and in possession of and my phone number is active on it.
I'm starting to worry that my phone may be compromised...

I don't think my phone is compromised. If someone had root access, they would have access to my authenticator app, would also be able to log me out of my email account and I would likely never have even known.
How they accessed the SMS message is what baffles me. I never even received it. But I think my visual voice mail had something to do with it. I was getting message after message that read something like "Unable to log into Visual Voice Mail". Just look at the apps permissions and saw that it has SMS allowed, I just disabled it.

They cloned your SIM card.

Most ISPs only require the last three characters of the postal code to make changes to the account, and most agents are too stupid and lazy to check to see if there's a security PIN on the account.
