Re:Thieves drain 2FA-protected bank accounts by abusing SS7 ... by Natanael_L on Friday May 05, 2017 @09:35AM (#14273295)
U2F works because it is replay protected. Whatever you "authorize" the scammer to do means nothing to the bank when he tries to relay it.

Either he acts as a transparent proxy between you and your bank without attacking, or the authentication fails.

Edit: with local malware you're doomed unless you have trusted external hardware with a dedicated screen.
