Like they woke up after the first decade of facebook "hacks". Or more likely they will continue on as normal until we stop using passwords as the only source of authentication.

Something you know. Something you have.

The typical two factor is a password (know) and SMS to a cellphone or code to an email (have).

...though that creates a vulnerability when the cell number can be ported, or the same password is used to access email... better to use authenticator apps or a physical "key".
