- Authy, a popular two-factor authentication (2FA) app, has been the victim of a data breach. The breach resulted in the theft of personal information, including phone numbers, for approximately 3.3 million Authy users.
- The breach was discovered on June 29, 2023, and Authy has since taken steps to secure its systems and notify affected users. The company has stated that no other sensitive information, such as passwords or authentication codes, was compromised in the attack.
- The incident highlights the importance of using strong and unique passwords, as well as the need for companies to prioritize the security of their user data. Experts recommend that Authy users review their account security and consider using alternative 2FA methods, such as hardware security keys or biometric authentication, to protect their online accounts.
