I can't answer for @Frank1 ... though it's obvious he's angry, I would be angry, too, any victim of this crime would be.
I was only commenting that "2FA" has become a buzzword people casually throw around the ultimate promise of security. It is a very useful security measure for some things. It is a completely ineffective (and counterproductive) security measure in this instance. Unless anyone can suggest a better way of implementing or integrating for this application?
Public Mobile's (Telus's) willingness and/or ability to protect our "privacy" and "security" are evidently inadequate. The reason nothing has been done is institutional, too much money is needed to change the momentum and trajectory of a fat dinosaur. Nothing being done will continue for as long as revenue losses from victimized/unhappy end-users are less than the expense needed to embed something more effective into existing systems.
It's a technical problem so it's impossible to explain it politicians or have them explain it to others. The CRTC will remain entirely unmotivated. Those of us who want protected privacy and security are better off taking care of things ourselves, not relying on ineffective providers, not ranting about how ineffective these providers really are.
