Subsequent to the execution of a SIM swap to replace the first SIM with the second SIM, the carrier network may perform fraud detection on the SIM swap based at least in part on the first information associated with the first SIM stored based at least in part on the SIM swap request and based at least in part on second information associated with the second SIM and based at least in part on the SIM swap being detected as fraudulent by the fraud detection, cause the second SIM to be prohibited from operating with respect to the subscriber.
