Yes, my google account was simjacked last year. I lost access to my email, photos, and ability to login via Google. They were after my Coinbase account (luckily the only account I used real 2FA on). They could have initiated bank transfers too but didn’t try.

Customer support for personal gmail accounts is almost nonexistent. Fortunately I had a friend who worked at Google and had them put a word in on my reset request otherwise I would have been SOL.

Disable phone number resets and switch to Google Authenticator w/ backup codes ASAP.
