"Twilio Confirms Data Breach After Hackers Leak 33M Authy User Phone Numbers"

Twilio recently confirmed that it had suffered a data breach after hackers leaked 33 million phone numbers associated with the Authy application.  In late June, hacking group ShinyHunters said they were leaking 33 million random phone numbers associated with Twilio’s two-factor authentication app Authy.  The leaked information also included account IDs and some other non-personal data associated with Authy users. Twilio said that it has detected that threat actors were able to identify data associated with Authy accounts, including phone numbers, due to an unauthenticated endpoint.  Twilio noted that it has taken action to secure this endpoint and no longer allows unauthenticated requests.  Twilio says it found no evidence that the hackers gained access to its systems or obtained other sensitive data, but as a precaution, it urged Authy users to install the latest Android and iOS security updates.  The company noted that while Authy accounts are not compromised, threat actors may try to use the phone number associated with Authy accounts for phishing and smishing attacks.
