GOOD NEWS UPDATE: I have changed my 2FA to my new phone number, as well as gotten backup codes too, and changed all of my passwords. Access is back, hopefully for good this time.

This is my identity confirmation that it's the real me and also the explanation of how I got hacked, and how you can avoid falling into the same trap I did youtu.be/GZQcq70cc6o

Get yourself a good password manager, and an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Proton Authenticator) instead of tying 2FA to a phone number. Or even better a pair of hardware backed Yubikeys.

+1 to Proton Pass & Authenticator (although any proper software will do); SMS and email 2FA are unfortunately much easier to intercept, like a letter in transit.
