Imagine this: Out of nowhere, your phone doesn’t work and while you’re trying to figure out what’s wrong with it — without being able to make calls — a hacker is digging through your apps and files. That's the reality of SIM swapping attacks. Kim has 5 tips to keep you and your data safe from enterprising criminals.

You have to see it in action.

Whether you admit it or not, we all lie from time to time. Maybe it’s just little white lies like telling the dentist you floss every day or something much bigger. We all tend to do this, at least occasionally. But what drives these lies?
