Twitter confirms zero-day used to expose data of 5.4M accounts
The only thing 2FA has been good for in my experience has been giving me a lot more junk calls. It should be outlawed in social media, and they should be required to build proper user support instead. Accounts are still being compromised regularly even with 2FA, it's tedious to use, and it only adds to PII overreach, as phones are becoming more involved in everyone's privacy and payment management.<p>This is a perfect example of casual protection and "failure downplaying" that social platforms conduct on serious volumes of personal data, and how it has become too common place as they warehouse private data that they really don't need.<p>A customer required me to use Skype for a meeting just the other day, It let me authenticate and verify an email account, but before I could even use it, it locked up and asked me for my phone number. This over reach is out of control.
