Interesting article below regarding 2FA.

https://www.cp24.com/mobile/news/ha...wMCyYHOtyt4IqpXPG_pQX3drtxok-d3-x7O2ZmOT5at0o

“ According to police, the victim had been targeted by a SIM swap attack, a method of manipulating cellular network carriers so scammers can intercept two-factor authentication requests.”

Could this happen if someone uses 2FA for their registrar account as well? Or anything else that you would use 2FA for.
 
Yeah, this year I've been getting more into security with my ventures into crypto. Even updating my regular passwords.

You have the normal 2FA, then a step up is:

Authenticator apps. I use Authy, try to not use anything from Google as much as possible. Then another step up is

something like a Yubikey. I think the auth apps are fine.
