SIM swap fraud: What it is, why you should care and how to protect yourself – CNET

Phone number theft is real, and it’s all too easy to give hackers the keys to your online accounts.
In January, a published study revealed how incredibly easy it is for hackers and fraudsters to take control of your phone number, potentially leading to thousands of dollars in fraud — that’s your money on the line. The practice of SIM swapping is becoming more common, and despite carriers putting safeguards in place, it’s scary how quickly the researchers were able to take over a phone number.
The SIM card inside your phone is a small plastic chip that tells your device which cellular network to connect to, and which phone number to use. We rarely ever think about SIM cards, except maybe when we get a new phone
But here’s the problem-

Electric car demand set to increase electric bills and the cost per watt
February 20, 2020 – 11:10
The Dutch electricity network can definitely not cope with the coming boom of electric cars and heat pumps. Grid operators will have to invest billions into upgrading the electricity grid, and that may result in higher energy bills, they said to newspaper AD.
The Netherlands’ goals are to install 1.7 million public charging points for electric cars and to take 1.5 million homes off the natural gas network by 2030. That means a whole lot of heat pumps will have to be installed. And that requires an unprecedented amount of power, the grid operators said to the newspaper.
One Tesla Model 3 uses as much electricity as 10 households, according to the newspaper. And one heat pump uses as much as a handful of tumble dryers.
