Apparently == App
Good ol spell-check.
I keep my phone on silent. There are other ways this can be done.
I was thinking about making an app that you would run on two phones. Each would send SMS messages back and forth. There would be some coded way of doing this, which would be within the app.
There would be an alarm that would go off if one did not receive a text within a certain time frame.
What do you think?

QR Hacks
I see these QR codes all over the place. Restaurants use them for menus(you scan and the visit the link) and I was thinking that someone could just make their own that looks just like the restaurants, place it over the restaurants and send people to their own website and then afterwards send them to the site with the menu.
What could be done with this?
I have one of those button cameras. The quality is horrible.
You might be better off hiding a camera in the area beforehand.

I got Sim-Swap!
Yeah I essentially hacked the phone number back. The day after this happened, I got a couple of SMS messages from my new carrier that had OTP. That was the perp trying to access the account and probably trying to figure out why there was a password on the account.
The sim-swappers are likely making a killing.
I'm still wanting to know what they did to change my PIN. I'm guessing they called and said "I'm an employee at the Boost Mobile store and I need to locate a receipt. Can you give me the activation date so I can look up the receipt?" I bet the phone Rep gave it out.
Makes me wonder how they came across my phone number and email as well.
Others on Reddit also had this happen and the PIN on the accounts were all "13371337"...

I got Sim-Swap!
The attacker had access to my phone number for about an hour before I had the number shut down. No cryptos were taken.
This is how it went down...
I first started receiving these messages from my phone carrier that were just sending me my four digit PIN as if I had forgot. This happened twice, each on the weekend, and two/three weeks before the similar swap occurred.
Then on the day it happened, I got a message that said my PIN was changed and my email was updated. So I went online and sure enough my PIN was changed but my email was fine. I then called my carrier and found out that it was changed using the activation date. The rep also said something about someone calling and saying they were an employee from the store. We changed my PIN and he said he would put a note on the account that would make it so that the PIN could not be changed using the activation date.
An hour later I got a message thanking me for joining metroPCS by T-Mobile. I had no phone service. I immediately used my secondary phone to call Boost who told me to fuck off since I'm no longer a customer. I then called MetroPCS who conferenced the call with Boost who then verified me using the PIN the perp placed of my account, and then MetroPCS disabled the phone.
I then disabled my Coinbase account. At this point I noticed that the message I received from MetroPCS had a link to an Activation agreement and the file was a password protected PDF. The message said the password was the eight digit PIN set up on the MetroPCS account. I first wrote a little program to crack it but it was taking to long so I Used PDFcrack and the password was '13371337' LOL.
I then called MetroPCS and used that password to access the account, changed the PIN, put a high security password on the account, put my name and address on it. The next day I went to a store, bought a phone and had my phone number placed on the phone.
The site Sophie mention is great. I think installing it and forcing yourself to use it is the best way to learn though.
As bored as I am at my job, I'm going to try to keep it.
Ubuntu. Never messed around with Macs but I've been interested. I stopped using Windows around eight years ago or so.

Lunyr
I bought some of this crypto back when it was like .10 and now it's like .90 and I want to exchange for BTC but can't find any exchanges that will let me do this without signing up.
How can I exchange in my LUNYR or trade it for other goods?
