View submission: How to keep your Reddit account safe
you can spoof the number and receive texts temporarily
Yeah that's super insecure. For something like my Reddit account I think even SMS two factor is probably adequate because it's unlikely anybody would attack my account specifically, or that they'd know my phone number. On a platform like this I would expect your vulnerability is brute force based on trying combinations of accounts and common passwords.
Where I worry about an attack like that is on a financial account login where an attacker may be targeting you specifically and already have some of your information. Lots of people know your phone number.
There's nothing here!
