Hackers take over family's Cricket Wireless account, shut down phones and take over financial apps 

Maybe they just don't wanna go through the scams that these postpaid companies put out there. Cricket is also one of the most expensive prepaid carriers out there to be fair. Can't really beat their multi-line discounts though, with 5 lines for $160/mo at the most. Why pay more than that when you don't have to, even if you do have money?

So if you have money why have prepaid? You get the same service or even better service with prepaid than post paid

This isn't a cricket wireless unique problem you can be sim swapped using tmobile or any of the other big wireless providers.
