Stop Using SMS, Says US Government After Major Attack

A major cyberattack on big US telecom companies has led officials to recommend that people use encrypted messaging apps. Microsoft named the attack "Salt Typhoon," and it's affecting companies like AT&T, Verizon, and Lumen Technologies.
The article from Yahoo Tech discusses a warning issued by the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) regarding the use of SMS for authentication. CISA advises against using SMS or voice calls for two-factor authentication due to vulnerabilities like SIM-swapping attacks, where attackers can hijack phone numbers to intercept authentication codes. Instead, CISA recommends adopting more secure methods such as authentication apps (like Google Authenticator or Authy) or physical security keys. The article highlights that while SMS is convenient, its security flaws make it an inadequate defense against modern cyber threats, urging businesses and individuals to transition to stronger authentication methods to protect sensitive information.
