Every time that there is a leak like this it’s infinitely aggravating how the spin department tries to downplay what happened. If you are using SMS based MFA you probably want to stop doing that now.

    I don’t think people understand the impact of IMEI and SIM serial being compromised. I’m not sure I fully do, either. This feels like when a mechanic gives you too much technical information that you don’t know how to process.

      I definitely don’t either, but I sense that the email itself is supposed to be the infuriating part here. The scenario is mildly infuriating for sure, but the email itself is still about as good as you can get in my opinion. Quick, clear about what could be hit.

      I was also wondering this. How often is this information available to apps/websites?
