| 2023-26338 | Protecting Consumers from SIM-Swap and Port-Out Fraud | Rule | In this document, the Federal Communications Commission adopted a Report and Order that adopts measures designed to address two fraudulent practices bad actors use to take control of consumers' cell phone accounts and wreak havoc on people's financial and digital lives without ever gaining physical control of a consumer's phone. The Report and Order revises the Commission's Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI) and Local Number Portability (LNP) rules to require wireless providers to adopt secure methods of authenticating a customer before redirecting a customer's phone number to a new device or provider. The Report and Order also require wireless providers to immediately notify customers whenever a SIM change or port-out request is made on customers' accounts, and take additional steps to protect customers from SIM swap and port-out fraud. | 2023-12-08 | 2023 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/12/08/2023-26338/protecting-consumers-from-sim-swap-and-port-out-fraud | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2023-12-08/pdf/2023-26338.pdf | Federal Communications Commission | 161 | In this document, the Federal Communications Commission adopted a Report and Order that adopts measures designed to address two fraudulent practices bad actors use to take control of consumers' cell phone accounts and wreak havoc on people's financial... |
