Nearly $33 Million Phone Numbers Stolen in Authy Hack, Owner Twilio Confirms

Two-factor authentication (2FA) provider Authy was reportedly hacked, resulting in the theft of 33 million users’ phone numbers. The attack was done using an unsecured API endpoint which allowed the bad actors to verify millions of phone numbers of Authy users. This increases the vulnerability of these exposed numbers to phishing via SIM and SIM swapping in the coming days. The official owner of Authy, Twilio confirmed the hack and took necessary action to secure their users. It has also requested all of its users to update to the latest Android and iOS apps for up-to-date security updates and to stay vigilant.
