We do not know that the attacker did not have access to the TFA code. That's an assumption. For all we know, it was the customer's roommate reading the SMS off his phone and sharing it to the pirates.
It is certainly possible that Uber's TFA system is compromised, but that's not the only explanation.
Except the account in the article had two factor auth enabled. Someone triggered the second factor (a text message) then logged in without access to it. That's the question at the heart of "how did this attack happen?"
