Dude. If somebody wants into your account specifically, they’ll get into it. 2FA, specifically SMS based 2FA, is really about the provider getting mass compromised because people recycle their password across all their sites.

It great for keeping people using scripted attacks against a huge list of accounts. It isn’t really to keep people specifically after your account out.

If somebody wants your shit and specifically your shit.... they’ll get it...
