Kazakhstan to Curb SIM Card Issuance Amid Rising Digital Fraud

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://timesca.com/kazakhstan-to-curb-sim-card-issuance-amid-rising-digital-fraud/

The 🇵🇱 Polish government has suggested new EU rules to ban the #anonymous purchase of #prepaid #SIMcards.

“The main threat associated with prepaid SIM cards is #anonymity,” says a document obtained by @statewatch and one cannot make one's disdain for #humanrights any clearer.

Extensive research has found no evidence that bans on anonymous purchases of SIM cards contribute to reducing #crime.

Минцифры РФ подготовило новые правила оказания услуг мобильной связи😐

▫️для заключения договора с оператором связи для абонентов будет введено подтверждение личности.

Иностранцы могут подтверждать личность по биометрии, граждане РФ — по биометрии, с помощью паспорта и портала госуслуг или через уполномоченную правительством РФ организацию, которую определят позднее;

▫️операторы связи, в свою очередь, будут уведомлять абонентов с превышенным лимитом по количеству сим-карт (для граждан РФ — не более 20, для иностранцев — не более 10);

▫️если клиенты не снизят количество сим-карт до дозволенного уровня, то им приостановят услуги мобильной связи по всем номерам.

Период для граждан РФ — до 1 ноября 2025 года, для иностранцев — до 1 июля 2025 года;

Last time I visited the US I had to jump through hoops to get a physical SIM card to avoid paying exorbitant roaming charges.

This time I'm looking forward to using an eSIM for the first time. They seem to be cheaper and a lot less hassle to get hold of.

#osmocom pySim will soon have GlobalPlatform SCP02 and SCP03 support. Code is already working against real cards but needs cleanup: https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/pysim/+/35462 and https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/pysim/+/35793 #simcards #gsm #3gpp

last, but not least, pySim-shell is getting GlobalPlatform SCP02 support; we also had a number of GlobalPlatform commands implemented, but so far no secure channel. I hope SCP03 follows soon. https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/pysim/+/35462 #gsm #simcards #osmocom
