How to Detect SIM Card Swapping in Android & iOS Apps

Last updated April 18, 2024 by Appdome

Learn to Detect SimStateInfo in Mobile apps, in mobile CI/CD with a Data-Driven DevSecOps™ build system.

What is a SIM Swap Attack?

A SIM swap attack is a form of identity theft where cybercriminals trick a cellular service provider into transferring a victim’s service to a SIM card under their control. This allows the attacker to hijack the victim’s phone number and intercept texts and calls, including crucial password recovery and account verification codes. The primary objective of SIM swapping is to exploit two-factor authentication to gain unauthorized access to sensitive accounts like banking or social media.

Why Detecting SIM Card Swapping is Vital ?

Each SIM card has a unique identifier, which mobile networks use to deliver services and communications to the correct device. In a SIM swap scenario, the victim’s cellular account gets linked to a different SIM card, diverting all incoming network traffic to the attacker. This kind of attack is a significant threat because it can bypass two-factor authentication, rendering standard security measures ineffective. Appdome’s ‘Detect SIM Swap’ feature is designed to detect the presence of a SIM swap within a mobile application and send a threat event notification to the app developer. This early detection is fundamental in enabling a prompt response to potential security breaches. This is especially important for apps that handle financial transactions or personal data, where the consequences of unauthorized access can be severe. Detecting SIM swaps in real time helps maintain the integrity of the user’s mobile experience and trust in the application’s security protocols.

Note: If you receive the following message, please ensure that your app is running on the correct Appdome engine version.

Prerequisites for Using Detect SIM Swap:

To use Appdome’s mobile app security build system to Detect SimStateInfo , you’ll need:

Appdome account (create a free Appdome account here)
A license for Detect SIM Swap
Mobile App (.ipa for iOS, or .apk or .aab for Android)
Signing Credentials (see Signing Secure Android apps and Signing Secure iOS apps)

Detect SimStateInfo on Mobile apps using Appdome

On Appdome, follow these 3 simple steps to create self-defending Mobile Apps that Detect SimStateInfo without an SDK or gateway:

Upload the Mobile App to Appdome.
1. Upload an app to Appdome’s Mobile App Security Build System
2. Upload Method: Appdome Console or DEV-API
3. Mobile App Formats: .ipa for iOS, or .apk or .aab for Android
4. Detect SIM Swap Compatible With: Obj-C, C+, Java, JS, C#, C++, Swift, Kotlin, Flutter, React Native, Unity, Xamarin, and more
Build the feature: Detect SIM Swap.
1. Building Detect SIM Swap by using Appdome’s DEV-API:
  1. Create and name the Fusion Set (security template) that will contain the Detect SIM Swap feature as shown below:
  2. Follow the steps in Sections 2.2.1-2.2.2 of this article, Building the Detect SIM Swap feature via Appdome Console, to add the Detect SIM Swap feature to this Fusion Set.
  3. Open the Fusion Set Detail Summary by clicking the “...” symbol on the far-right corner of the Fusion Set, as shown in Figure 1 above, and get the Fusion Set ID from the Fusion Set Detail Summary (as shown below):
    
    Figure 2: Fusion Set Detail Summary
    Note: Annotating the Fusion Set to identify the protection(s) selected is optional only (not mandatory).
  4. Follow the instructions below to use the Fusion Set ID inside any standard mobile DevOps or CI/CD toolkit like Bitrise, App Center, Jenkins, Travis, Team City, Cirlce CI or other system:
    
    Build an API for the app – for instructions, see the tasks under Appdome API Reference Guide
    
    Look for sample APIs in Appdome’s GitHub Repository
2. Building the Detect SIM Swap feature via Appdome Console
  
  To build the Detect SIM Swap protection by using Appdome Console, follow the instructions below.
  1. Where: Inside the Appdome Console, go to Build > Anti Fraud Tab > Social Engineering Prevention section.
    Like all other options in ONEShield™, Detect SIM Swap is turned on by default, as shown below:
    Figure 3: Detect SIM Swap option
    Note: The App Compromise Notification contains an easy to follow default remediation path for the mobile app end user. You can customize this message as required to achieve brand specific support, workflow or other messaging.
  2. How: Toggle (turn ON) Detect SIM Swap, as shown below.
    If needed, Customize the Threat Notification to be displayed to the mobile end-user in a standard OS dialog notification when Appdome Detects SimStateInfo.
    
    Figure 3: Detect SimStateInfo option
    Note: The App Compromise Notification contains an easy to follow default remediation path for the mobile app end user. You can customize this message as required to achieve brand specific support, workflow or other messaging.
  3. When you select the Detect SIM Swap you'll notice that your Fusion Set you created in step 2.1.1 now bears the icon of the protection category that contains Detect SIM Swap
    
    Figure 4: Fusion Set that displays the newly added Detect SIM Swap protection
  4. Select the Threat-Event™ in-app mobile Threat Defense and Intelligence policy for Detect SIM Swap:
    
    Threat-Events™ OFF > In-App Defense
    If the Threat-Events™ setting is cleared (not selected). Appdome will detect and defend the user and app by enforcing Detect SimStateInfo.
    
    Threat-Events™ ON > In-App Detection
    When this setting is used, Appdome detects the presence of SIM card swapping and passes Appdome’s Threat-Event™ attack intelligence to the app’s business logic for processing, enforcement, and user notification. For more information on consuming and using Appdome Threat-Events™ in the app, see section Using Threat-Events™ for Detect SIM Swap Intelligence and Control in Mobile Apps.
    
    Threat-Events™ ON > In-App Defense
    When this setting is used, Appdome detects and defends against SimStateInfo (same as Appdome Enforce) and passes Appdome’s Threat-Event™ attack intelligence the app’s business logic for processing. For more information on consuming and using Appdome Threat-Events™ in the app, see section Using Threat-Events™ for Detect SIM Swap Intelligence and Control in Mobile Apps.
  5. Click Build My App at the bottom of the Build Workflow (shown in Figure 3).
Congratulations! The Detect SIM Swap protection is now added to the mobile app
Certify the Detect SIM Swap feature in Mobile Apps.

After building Detect SIM Swap, Appdome generates a Certified Secure™ certificate to guarantee that the Detect SIM Swap protection has been added and is protecting the app. To verify that the Detect SIM Swap protection has been added to the mobile app, locate the protection in the Certified Secure™ certificate as shown below:

Figure 5: Certified Secure™ certificate

Each Certified Secure™ certificate provides DevOps and DevSecOps organizations the entire workflow summary, audit trail of each build, and proof of protection that Detect SIM Swap has been added to each Mobile app. Certified Secure provides instant and in-line DevSecOps compliance certification that Detect SIM Swap and other mobile app security features are in each build of the mobile app

Using Appdome, there are no development or coding prerequisites to build secured Mobile Apps by using Detect SIM Swap. There is no SDK and no library to code or implement in the app and no gateway to deploy in your network. All protections are built into each app and the resulting app is self-defending and self-protecting.

Releasing and Publishing Mobile Apps with Detect SIM Swap

After successfully securing your app by using Appdome, there are several available options to complete your project, depending on your app lifecycle or workflow. These include:

Customizing, Configuring & Branding Secure Mobile Apps
Deploying/Publishing Secure mobile apps to Public or Private app stores
Releasing Secured Android & iOS Apps built on Appdome.
