Comment on Don't worry, we only lost the dangerous parts... not something personal like your dob

I don’t think people understand the impact of IMEI and SIM serial being compromised. I’m not sure I fully do, either. This feels like when a mechanic gives you too much technical information that you don’t know how to process.

I definitely don’t either, but I sense that the email itself is supposed to be the infuriating part here. The scenario is mildly infuriating for sure, but the email itself is still about as good as you can get in my opinion. Quick, clear about what could be hit.

I was also wondering this. How often is this information available to apps/websites?

  Mint is a mobile carrier so they have this information about your phone.

    But is this something only carriers would normally have access to?
