Even after Twitter dropped SMS 2FA, someone still tried to hack my account via text.
Someone initiated a password reset request on my account (I prefer Mastodon these days) and then sent this message to try to get me to text them the verification code I received from Twitter. Don’t they know Twitter already cut off SMS 2FA for non-Blue subscribers?
(FYI - you should use another form of two-factor authentication on your account, and you should never, ever resend a verification code via text — unless you think you can get a good story out of it.)
