So was the attempt to steal second-factor successful or was it the account of an employee without 2FA that was compromised?
Because then...
On the page as to how to set up 2FA linked from TFA:

There's 2FA and 2FA. TOTP like Google Authenticator giving these six digits are easy to phish.
I much prefer FIDO(2) devices and the webauthn protocol (Chrome doesn't even allow U2F anymore but webauthn is backward compatible with old security keys), especially when the device uses a different method for registering a service the first time and for then authenticating to that service (for example by using a different PIN for registering and for authenticating or by displaying on the device itself if you're registering or authenticating).
