[kictanet] Safaricom S.I.M. Swap Debacle...

[Joseph McDonald]

In April i lost 123k to these fraudsters.It is very simple to make
preventive measures make availability of mpesa after sim swap to be 24-48
hours.Then make activation process be similar to a new line where the
person has to go personally with ID.But if someone has access immediately
then many more are going to lose money.Maybe we need a class action
against  safaricom for being vicariously liable.I should give omtata a
shout ....by the way
