  Cryptocurrency exchanges should implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) to add an extra layer of security. This can include using biometric data, such as fingerprints or facial recognition, in addition to passwords. MFA makes it much more difficult for hackers to gain unauthorized access to user accounts even if they manage to obtain a SIM card.

  Another important measure is to educate users about the risks of sim card hacking and how to protect themselves. Exchanges can provide resources and guidelines on how to secure their mobile devices, such as enabling PIN lock, regularly updating software, and avoiding suspicious links or apps.

  To further enhance security, exchanges should also consider implementing withdrawal limits and transaction verification processes. This can help detect and prevent unauthorized transactions even if a hacker gains access to a user's account.
