Want to steal the phone number of any Republic Wireless user? You just have to know their phone number and zip code and you can transfer that number to another carrier, no questions asked. I hope they weren’t using that phone number for any 2-factor authenticated sites…

Not quite – the provider that you’re transferring the number out to has to follow CPNI protocols just like we do. They would be legally required to verify the person’s identity first before porting in a number.
Republic Wireless Oh, good. I’m glad there’s some fallback security. However, you might consider using a PIN that’s only revealed to logged-in users for an extra layer of safety
