Security breaches rarely begin with passwords alone—they begin with access. “The Cost of Convenience Series: Access Points: Devices, Networks, and SIM Swapping” explores the often-overlooked infrastructure that quietly enables account compromise in the modern digital world.
In this webinar, Ashley Karr examines how fraudsters exploit the systems that connect our digital lives: mobile devices, phone numbers, Wi-Fi networks, browser sessions, recovery mechanisms, and telecom infrastructure. Special focus is given to SIM swapping and phone-based authentication, where control of a single number can unlock access to multiple accounts and services.
Participants will gain a practical understanding of how access moves through interconnected systems and how attackers exploit weak points that most users never consider. Rather than relying on technical deep dives, the session emphasizes clear, real-world behaviors and structural awareness to help reduce exposure and strengthen everyday digital resilience.
Key Topics Discussed:
SIM swapping and phone number takeover techniques
Telecom vulnerabilities and phone-based authentication risks
Network and Wi-Fi exposure points in everyday environments
Device compromise and session persistence threats
Recovery flows tied to mobile numbers and email access
Weaknesses in multi-factor authentication (MFA) systems
How attackers chain access across devices and platforms
Operational habits that reduce exposure across connected systems
Building safer device, network, and communication practices
