I was helping out a friend to make a presentation/training on IT Sec, and while I was searching for some fancy sim swap rigs photos, I saw this image [1] that lead me to this article [2]: "Detectives smash illegal SIM swap command centre in Ruiru"

and from the article: "Officers found 30,000 SIM cards, 240 iPhones, 150 MI phones, 2 laptops, 2 and other electrical appliances. The gadgets were plugged into a system."

It doesn't add up 900, only to 390.. but still.. if these guys would focus their ingenuity in something positive, they could have accomplished so much more in life.

There were no Sim-Swaps, at least not from the Student. Later it was revealed that he simply bought the Data & published it. The Hacking did somebody else.
