Jason Bourne Shows the Easy Way to Prevent SIM Cloning
Filed in archive Useful Info by Rico Mossesgeld on September 24, 2006

In the movie The Bourne Supremacy, ass-kickin' hero Jason Bourne is in the CIA's sights. He let's himself get captured, knocks out a field agent, clones his SIM, and puts everything back in place. So when the agent wakes up, he doesn't know any better. When he reports Bourne's escape, Jason is able to listen in with his cloned SIM, gaining more info about his enemies.
Ok, that entire sequence
has its "only-in-Hollywood" qualities. First, it would take longer to clone a SIM, not the few minutes that Bourne had. And SIM cloners hardly do it because they're playing the games spies play; they just want free calls at your expense.So Here's a Word of Advice: When you have your GSM or UMTS (these devices use USIMs) smartphone or PDA phone fixed, make sure to keep the SIM. The technicians have their own SIMs to test the gadget anyway. You never know, someone in the back might clone your SIM while the people out front work on your phone.
Something to Scare You More: It's so easy to clone a SIM that you can download instructions to do so.
