| 1627329605534203907 | 👋So! There’s been some 🔥lively🔥 convo (including this great thread from my friend @RachelTobac) on @Twitter's decision to remove SMS as a form of 2 Factor Authentication (2FA aka MFA) that non-paying Twitter users can use to keep their accounts safe. https://t.co/vP2UZPnpBD | 63 |
| 1626956327317565440 | Per @RachelTobac: 75% of Twitter 2FA users are using SMS-based authentication. In theory those users could switch to authenticator apps (or pay 😂) but they probably won’t. | 52 |
| 1627649746260185088 | If you have to read one thing today about #Twitter & SMS-based 2FA, another decision that we can add to the list of how Twitter isn't protecting its users - Read this thread by the amazing @RachelTobac https://t.co/o2HwpHbs8C | 29 |
| 1625420661760958465 | Fascinating social engineering attack against LLM ChatBots. @RachelTobac maybe we need social engineering sensitivity training for bots https://t.co/6U9jZwNHUv | 16 |
| 1627329619526385665 | So, what to do to STAY SAFE? Well, helpfully, authenticator apps & security keys can still be used for free--& should remain that way‼️--so get an authenticator app or a security key TODAY. More at https://t.co/lbfk4qAySI as well as @RachelTobac's thread. | 14 |

| 1626879740849053696 | The stats from cyber expert @RachelTobac: Of those who use MFA, SMS is the key method. No matter what reasons Elon Musk uses to justify charging for Twitter Blue to use security features, the fact is it'll make a lot of users more vulnerable to attacks. https://t.co/vsNkq3he2v | 7 |
