![]() I did not have it on my old and dormant gmail account which is partially why it was vulnerable. It is way too easy to port a phone number and once a hacker has your number, they have access to two factor codes coming via SMS. I did this about six months ago and I think it may have saved me. Call your cell phone provider and put a “do not port under any circumstances” hold on your phone number.Without getting into the specifics, I would like to tell everyone five things I learned from this awful experience: The good news is nothing appears to have been taken from my Coinbase account although I don’t currently have access to it right now and thankfully nobody else does either. I immediately thought “that’s the same attack pattern that Cody wrote about” and I was able to get to Coinbase and have them lock down my account immediately. I woke up Friday morning (central european summer time) and saw a bunch of emails in my inbox suggesting that suspicious activities were happening in my personal gmail account, my mobile phone account, and my two factor service. I feel very badly for Cody and plan to send him some BTC once I get access back to my account. I read Cody Brown’s blog post about getting hacked on Thursday of last week. ![]()
