> it isn't SMS 2FA that is insecure, it is the telco themselves

I have some rope at home. The manufacturers specify it's blue, 8mm, polypropylene and for 'general use' but they don't say anything about its strength. Cost about $5.

If I lift something with it and it breaks, is it the rope's fault, or my fault for selecting the wrong rope?

SMS is the same way - is sim jacking the telco's fault, or is a company using SMS 2FA as dumb as lifting a piano with my $5 rope?

Is it acceptable for anyone to be able to just walk into a store and hijack your phone number? Guess it’s just your fault your grandma now gets to talk to a crook when she calls you.
