i don't understand how you can claim a phone number without having a physical sim card since i did not used Verizon before ...
Russian have been doing this for months now, they broke SS7 encryption on regular cell networks. It was a weak encryption that's been around for ages and now they figured out how to hack it and they can clone you're phone and number from the outside now. They were doing the same hack but with bank accounts I think 50 million last few months when they are able to get your number then break the SS7 then they can get the 2factor auth codes sent to SMS sent to them, that's why SMS 2 factor is no good anymore.
