RE: Even Paranoid People Have Enemies, Or The Scary Story of How My Cell Phone Number Was Just Stolen by a Hacker Who Demanded a Bitcoin Ransom, How I Got It Back, and How To Protect Yourself!

Wonder how they got that social security #? Any documents in the phone that would have it? It sounds like a amateur who just tricked the phone company rather than a pro to me. 20 BTC is an outrageous demand, even 10.

    Agreed on all counts. Not sure how he got my SSN though. I'm sure the cell phone company has it, so perhaps he connned it out of them somehow.
