ChainCatcher news, Slow Mist's Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) 23pds posted on social media that Authy, the popular 2FA service second only to Google Authenticator, has been hacked, resulting in the theft of 33 million users' phone numbers. If you are an Authy user, please be vigilant against phishing attacks. The official developer Twilio has confirmed the vulnerability. A large number of professionals in the cryptocurrency industry use this 2FA software, so please ensure the safety of your assets.

ChainCatcher news, according to a report by Cointelegraph, based on a security alert post released by application developer Twilio on July 1, hackers gained access to the Authy Android application database, "able to identify data associated with accounts, including phone numbers."The post noted that the accounts themselves "were not compromised," meaning that the attackers could not obtain authentication credentials. However, the leaked phone numbers could potentially be used in the future for "phishing and SMS phishing attacks." Therefore, Twilio encourages Authy users to "stay vigilant and be highly alert to any text messages received."Users of centralized trading platforms typically rely on Authy for two-factor authentication (2FA). It generates a code on the user's device, which the trading platform may require to be entered before executing withdrawals, transfers, or other sensitive tasks.Authy is sometimes compared to Google's Authenticator app, which has similar functionality.
