🚀Blockchain News Flash! App developer Twilio issued a security alert on July 1 that hackers successfully broke into the Authy Android app database and obtained phone number data associated with the account. 😱While the account itself was not compromised, the leaked phone number may be used for future phishing and SMS phishing attacks. Twilio calls on Authy users to remain vigilant and be highly alert to received SMS messages.
🔒It is worth noting that many users of centralized exchanges often rely on Authy for two-factor authentication (2FA). It generates a code on the user's device, and the trading platform may require this code to be entered before performing withdrawals, transfers, or other sensitive tasks. Exchanges Gemini and Crypto.com both use Authy as their default 2FA application, and many other exchanges such as Coinbase and Binance also allow it as an option. 🔐
🎉The world of Bitcoin is always full of surprises and challenges. Let us stay vigilant and ensure the safety of our assets! 💪
