#42 Jonathan Wilkins, Avoid Sim Swapping w/ Cloaked Wireless

The NonFunGerbils Podcast

George was called away last minute for this one so Dr Dion W stepped in to help. Also known as @DionwNFT on Twitter, he is a data scientist and works for MyNFT.

Today we focus on security with Jonathan Wilkins, previous CSO of Blockstream and currently founder of Cloaked Wireless.

Cloaked focuses on solving sim swapping attacks in the space by creating a secure intermediary away from traditional telecom companies using Bitcoin message signing for authentication. We cover:

• how big the sim swapping problem is

• some major vulnerabilities out there

• seed storage procedures.

• poetry for error correction in passwords

• generally explore the topic of security

It was quite shocking how much of a problem and how easy swapping still is.
