Simverified.com: Anonymity as serious as a playtoy!!
___Simverified.com is a service that also provides temporary numbers to stay anonymous in the part where you have to verify through your phone-number___
X 1) However you have to register an account at them first...
X 2) As I will show you next, how a company acts and secures it's services...
- Tells you also everything about how you should
act and react around them.
- What/which you should and shouldn't use of
them.
Because of my experiences: during corona, it's aftermath worldwide, with `Google Account` how much it actually knows. And how EVERY SINGLE GOOGLE SERVICE (same for Apple) offers a different information source AND insight about our daily doings and long-term behavior...
I from than on always double check what I get into!
___So here's my conversation with simverified.com:___
(Me:) Dear madam/sir, What account details are needed to register with you?
(Me:) Do i need to walk through any KYC?
(Simverified:) No kyc
(Additional Note: see how they leave the answer on my first question out.)
(Me:) And do you also have regular 06-phonenumbers for the netherlands?
(Simverified:) Y
(Me:) And as last, can I protect my account with 2FA?
(Simverified:) N
(Me:) Do you provide any other additional account security?
(Simverified:) No
(Me:) Is there a specific reason for that?
(Me:) (Maybe i'm overlooking something)
(Simverified:) No
(Additional Note: notice how short all answers are!)
(Me:) I mean, not that it makes much sense to have 2FA if one just would easly hand over data to goverments without any hesitation...
(Me:) But, okay, I know enough, not having the 2FA part or second security option is a engagement-killer for me.. Thanks for your time!
(Simverified:) Get lost
(Me:) Ohhh your reactions says everything! You are just a simple person trying to earn money, with little knowledge about what he/she does and how things work... (Which is not the worsest thing perse, however...)
(Me:) With such low security, little effort and low morals. I might even question what you do with all others people data!
(Me:) On top of that you have mediocre morals at max, probably even less... You and your service are as untrustworthy as that what you're users are trying to circumvent...
(Me:) With such low morals and effort, I also DO question how you got the software, to provide workarounds, for forced phone-number verification services...
(Me:) You *peep*! And are probably easy hackable! Glad I talked to you before I subscribed to you!
(Me:) Hell, you might already even BE hacked, without you knowing it!
___Addition notes:___
A) Nowadays, with current technologies, Bitcoins are no-longer anonymous
B1) The way verification messages are structured, the used words, the language they are in. All can be used to narrow down which company sent the sms-verification...
B2) But also at which companies you are probably registered!
C) Every single service/company you have to register to, provide an extra breach/possibility in your privacy AND security.
