Google 2FA at risk

[DelJo63]

Better than the SMS implementation, Google Authenticator can be hacked to steal your credentials :sigh:

That's what AndroidAuthority.com is reporting.

a new form of Android malware is capable of stealing 2FA codes from Google’s app ... According to the report, a variant of the Cerberus banking trojan emerged with this ability in January 2020.​

​

new malware feature isn’t being advertised on underground forums just yet, suggesting that this capability is still in testing.​

​

could also be a massive threat to other accounts and services that use 2FA, such as email, Google accounts, and more​

We will have to wait and see ...
