The decentralized social media protocol, FriendTech, has responded to the recent surge in SIM-swap attacks and security breaches targeting its users by implementing enhanced security measures.
In an Oct. 4 post on X (formerly Twitter), the protocol’s team announced a significant improvement, allowing users to add and remove various login methods from their accounts.
Previously, the protocol required users to register with a mobile phone number, a Gmail email address, or an Apple account. However, several stakeholders, including SlowMist founder Cos, pointed out that these requirements exposed users to substantial security risks due to the platform’s setup.
Earlier in the week, CryptoSlate reported concerns from the crypto community about the protocol’s security, as several user accounts fell victim to SIM-swap attacks. Manifold Trading, a crypto trading firm, estimated approximately $20 million worth of assets belonging to FriendTech’s users were at risk of these attacks.
