A SIM card is writeable. At one time it was offered as a back-up location for Contacts by whatever phone it was in. They can also be read, and presumably written, by a PC. So Yes I'd say it would be possible to write nefarious software to a SIM. Never heard of it happening though.I doubt it.
SIM card only effectively completes a circuit within the phone/mifi with unique data on that card.
It would need a writable memory like an SD card

I did of course use google but it all appeared a bit inconclusive so I thought I would use the combined brain power of FUN......It would appear they can Google is the font of all scaremongering

Hi Mum how is life in your motorhome today... As far as I am aware Joy hacking can come in various levels. In it's most severe form the hacker can completely take over your computer, take control of your facebook and what ever other media package that you are linked to, they can even turn your camera on and observe you from afar. However, given a good level of protection then this should not happen.Gromett says you should adopt me as your mother .. and look after me.
May I ask .. when they say a simm card or a facebook account has been compromised .. what EXACTLY do they mean? Do they have access to your emails or what? Or do they somehow read into your phone/computer and get all your passwords? Sorry .. I know it's a daft question but I don't understand HOW MUCH they can take off a maninthestreet phone.

The reason I posted this thread today is my Daughter who is becoming paranoid that her every move is being taken over from a remote station. She has spent a bit of time recently in Barbados, each time she comes back she has this problem with hacking. She has now binned all her phones and tablet and started afresh with new phone and Sim.''''
