Help Should I worry about simjacking?

Sure, https://www.zdnet.com/article/these-are-the-29-countries-vulnerable-to-simjacker-attacks/ I don't live in one of the effected countries so looks like I'm safe. But the future always brings surprises...
That article includes a link to test your SIM:

"But for those who need assurances, SRLabs updated its SIMTester app last month to support Simjacker scans. The app will be able to tell users if they have the S@T Browser app installed on their SIM card, and if the app has been misconfigured and left vulnerable to Simjacker attacks."

Thanks for posting its link.

The instructions for running simtest look to be way above my head. Perhaps they'll make a Play Store android app that can run the simtest tests automatically (assuming google allows such things).
