That's why i keep my money somewhere safe like a bank instead of a USB drive
USB drives have other risks. What I was discussing was online crypto wallets like CoinBase.
SIM-swapping isn’t just crypto, I know people who’ve had funds stolen from their bank account, this was discussed on those podcasts as well. That’s a part of the industry, recruiting unsuspecting mules to receive the money (via incoming bank transfers or other electronic payment methods) and methods of tricking them into thinking there’s something legit going on.
