Two Charged in SIM Swapping, Vishing Scams

It's crazy that companies are still using SMS for 2FA. TOTP solves this problem is a much more elegant way and is immune to such attacks.

You might have set up TOTP and removed SMS 2FA on Gmail but don't forget to remove your phone number as a recovery method as this can be equally devastating when exploited by SIM Swapping.
