I don't think he did learn his lesson... I thought everyone knew by now: your account security is only as strong as it's weakest link.
Account recovery and 2 factor auth is always that week link. If you don't want to get hacked in this unsophisticated way just because someone is targeting you - then just remember your password the old fashioned way and close all the other doors. even postit notes are more secure because they are not remotely exploitable.
- lsmarigo 9y agoLearned this lesson the hard way, enabled 2FA for a certain major service which in turn opened me up to an exploit that didn't effect those not using 2FA. So in enabling 2FA I weakened my acct security and opened a new attack vector. At best if everything is implemented properly you're still now only as secure as your telecoms customer service security practices.
