Well then he didn't lie I guess if it was the journalist getting hijacked live in T-Mobile

Well that's what the article says. It seems like you have no idea what the allegation is about, and the allegation itself seems to fly pretty blatantly in the face of the article too.

The allegation is mobile carriers can't be redirected. Only landline and voip.

Update: So his allegation is there is no reporter supposedly and it's a paid article.

Which directly contradicts the article saying it was T-Mobile...

Well that's what he's claiming https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26488898 paid article

Well that's why I'm pushing back against it. I very much want to know too. So far, given wealthyyy is a 5-day-old account making so many serious accusations of dishonesty [1] [2] against a Vice reporter without a shred of evidence, it should be obvious who has more credibility right now.

I don't give ....

Well what. It's obvious who you are. You are Lucky...

Account age is biased way to trust an individual. I could have bought an old HN account from someone but I didn't.

Look, Any Vice reporter can be bribed. You're missing the point.

You accuse people of dishonesty so easily and don't feel any need to show a single shred of evidence supporting your position?

Mr Flow, Please try a TMobile number on ZipWhip. You will see it fails. You will now claim that I am lying and that NetNumber has fixed this. So there is nothing I can do to help you.

I have known about this attack since 2012, but I did not publicly talk about how insecure SMS is for promoting an anti-fraud product.

Note, this is just the tip of the iceberg. There are other attack vectors that only I know!
