This same attack could be used to access WhatsApp, Signal or Telegram. That's why we are building dPhone using @blockstack technology. Using phone numbers as identity provider is not secure, they were never designed for this.
dPhone is spreading faster than expected, privacy matters!
If you want to call us, here is our ̶n̶u̶m̶b̶e̶r̶ @blockstack id: dphonetest.id.blockstack
dphone.app
After launching, many have asked what is our unique value proposition compared to @signalapp .
Answering this question, the main difference is that Signal uses your number as identity, so it is still vulnerable to SIM-swap attacks.

This kind of attack is on the rise right now and even a mobile store employee could exploit it. Phone numbers were never intended to be a way to confirm someone’s identity. That's why we use @blockstack ID instead of phone numbers.
