This also has been fixed, but why would someone want to do this. 
Alice and i were talking just last night and said "maybe we should just take our money out of the bank and stick it in the safe" at least we know where it is then.

I don't know either Leon, I truly don't understand what motivates some people or what exactly they believe they might gain. Human nature is truly baffling to me.

The forum I was referring to uses Google Authenticator, the 2FA is done via that app, I cannot recall if establishing my google account required giving them my phone number or not...
What other method do you suggest then in the face of ever increasing threats?

What else would you suggest in an environment where there are no perfect answers yet the threats increase?
