Criminals are sending texts to current and former mobile carrier employees (T-Mobile, Verizon, Charter) offering cash (e.g., $100–$300) to perform SIM swaps or email resets, claiming contact details came from employee directories; this is a targeted campaign to recruit insiders for SIM-swap attacks that enable account takeovers and financial theft, and carriers are investigating while denying a systems breach.
