PCMag: How to Hack Twitter's Two-Factor Authentication
http://j.mp/10YVC2m (PCMag)
In a short, droll video about Twitter's two-factor authentication,
Alexander congratulates Twitter for joining a "security two-step
program" and taking the first step, admitting a problem exists. He
then goes on to illustrate just how little the SMS-based two-factor
authentication helps. "Your new solution leaves the door wide open,"
said Alexander, "for the same man-in-the-middle attacks that
compromised the reputations of major news sources and celebrities."
