Happened to me because I had an account on a crypto exchange. The attacker went in to my phone carrier’s store, likely with a fake ID, convinced the store they were me, then got a new SIM card and reset my password on everything they could with it. They logged in to my crypto exchange mere minutes after they got the SIM, saw the $0.03 in my account, and logged out.
