Agreed. TikTok does this as well... I literally get spam calls just as I scroll though content there. Microsoft leaks numbers somehow as well, even on Enterprise service apps, as I used to get spam calls on company phones from authenticating on Azure all the time, when the numbers were totally private and used for business calls only.
It's really a new form of torture to have to remember a really complex password and to do a TFA log in every time a change needs to be made now, one of my least likeable parts of modern jobs. It's not even like we had breaches, it just became mandatory and now a lot of things like cloud config go largely unchecked by admins because it's so tedious to log in so frequently and they often get locked out the minute they forget their phone at home because email is often another password/TFA hurdle... Stupid wins first these days. Breaches still happen elsewhere all the time despite TFA adoption as well, hackers keep engineering workarounds, and mobile security is compromised when personal devices are used anyway. A much better approach is in segmenting data, and only retaining essential/required data, but systems are made to collect far too many details on users and subject matter overreaching a "need to know" basis, which also dramatically increases the impact of modern data breaches.
TFA used to be based on email and it was just fine. The only reason why phones became mandatory is precisely because of illicit use of phone contacts by these platforms. The bootleg calls also probably eats up tons of money in terms of prepaid minutes for people with those types of plans, yet whenever there is a fine, none of the affected people see true justice.
