This is the result when companies follow each other. We need to see more innovation in authentication and leadership in best practices. Hijacking of phone numbers is not new and devs need to stop shifting liability to phone carriers when authenticating users to every little thing. Phone carriers have no incentive to secure users data or make the user authentication process more stringent. This results in the consumers being at constant risk, which I feel impacts society as a whole.
