Reddit discloses hack, says SMS intercept allowed attackers to skirt 2FA protections

Reddit says staff accounts at cloud and source code hosting providers were compromised. The attackers gained access to backup data, source code, and logs. The backups contained a complete copy of an old database, housing Reddit data from 2005 until 2007. Reddit is notifying some users who maintained accounts on the website prior to 2007 as their accounts were impacted. They’re working with law enforcement on the matter, and they’re reaching out to those impacted directly and working with Reddit to reset their account passwords. Reddit has since strengthened their security posture, but they’re not telling users to change their passwords.”]
