Are you reading the second half of the sentence I posted? Sorry but I'm not understanding where you are coming from - Krebbs lays out clearly in the first paragraph how the attack works and you seem to be deliberately ignoring that.

No? I thought I specifically addressed that. They call you on the phone and ask for a code you won't have, even if you hit Allow.
What I find interesting is that Krebs didn't do any legwork to verify the claims before publishing.

Why wouldn't you have the code? I thought your device shows the code when you press 'allow'.

Are you reading the first half of the sentence you posted? They are clearly implying pressing the wrong button would be dangerous.
It’s a bit confused about what exactly the problem is, so is a little self-contradictory (including elsewhere in the article).
