Fin août 2026, la Gendarmerie de la Somme publie une alerte au titre sans détour : le détournement de carte SIM vide vos comptes en 60 secondes. Repris par BFMTV, RMC Conso, Clubic, CNews et une dizaine de médias nationaux, le message vise une habitude partagée par des millions de clients bancaires : le code de validation reçu par SMS. Ce qui a changé n’est pas la ruse des fraudeurs. C’est que l’eSIM a supprimé la dernière barrière physique qui les ralentissait. Chez Pixels Banking, nous expliquons depuis des années à nos partenaires bancaires pourquoi un numéro de téléphone ne peut pas être un facteur d’authentification. Voici ce que cette vague d’attaques confirme, et ce que nous avons construit en réponse.
