This example is an extension of how man-in-the-middle-attack can work by using impersonation.
By cloning Bure's SIM card the fraudsters were able to hack into the
account, create a new beneficiary, which can be done only when the bank
sends a client the one-time password via SMS, and transfer the money
into several accounts. In this case the syndicate, armed with a
fraudulent ID book in Bure's name, persuaded MTN to swap the Sim Card in
Bure's absence. The Ubuntu project looks after orphaned and vulnerable
children.
