Which is ironic considering the FBI and CISA just today announced that you _should_ use WhatsApp and not use SMS for two factor authentication. Although they point out the biggest problem is mobile users click on links in SMS. We live in a mostly captured and anti consumer environment. I'm not sure there's any great advice.

Of course there is. Always prefer an authenticator app over SMS. Also, Passkeys are supposed to be a big upgrade in this regard.

Whatsapp is not still vulnerable to the hack (as far as we know) and SMS applications have had similar vulnerabilities in the past.
