Hope this isn't a repeated submission. Funny how they're trying to deflect blame after they tried to change the EULA post breach.

The data breach started with hackers accessing only around 14,000 user accounts. The hackers broke into this first set of victims by brute-forcing accounts with passwords that were known to be associated with the targeted customers

Turns out, it is.

What should a website do when you present it with correct credentials?

What should it do? It should ask you to confirm the login with a configured 2FA

[–] capital@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago (18 children)

Yeah they offered that. I don’t think anyone with it turned on was compromised.

2FA should be forced, it's not a hard thing to do.
