In December 2020, everything I knew was upended in a matter of minutes.
It started like any other day, until my phone suddenly lost service. What I didn’t know then was that I had become the target of a highly coordinated SIM swap attack—one of the most devastating and personal forms of cybercrime. Within hours, hackers had exploited a loophole in mobile carrier systems, seized control of my digital life, and drained over 500 Bitcoin and other digital assets from my accounts. The value at the time? $31.5 million.
The impact wasn’t just financial—it was deeply personal. I was thrust into a battle against faceless criminals, opaque systems, and the very infrastructure we rely on to protect us. What followed was a harrowing journey of investigation, resilience, and reflection. How could something like this happen? Where were the safeguards? And how many others are just one SMS away from losing everything?
This isn’t just a story about crypto or cybercrime. It’s a reckoning—with trust, technology, and our own sense of control in a connected world.
This is the story of how I was UNDERMINED.
