***🚨Disable cloud storage of your Google Authenticator Immediately. Top right of the screen. Make sure that cloud button is off. If it is on, or ever has been on, create new 2FA for all of your accounts.

I had learned about this vulnerability last week and disabled it. Seems as if it was too late. 

I’m assuming this was the attack vector. A compromised google account and Coinbase password. 

I’m working on cleaning everything up. 

If there are any legit security experts on here, I’d love any more advice you have to offer.

Im a bit of a degen, but also a chad.

i'm so sorry if you were impacted.    

my security practices are as follows:
-i don't store any passwords or 2fa in the cloud at all.  I recommend against this to everyone i come across.
-i use a local password manager that i have encrypted.   
-i also don't use mobile wallets either, but i've learned most people use them exclusively.

i have used KeePass (https://keepass.info/) for many years and have found that it works perfect for my needs.    It is not cloud based and runs local.  I would recommend having backup files stored in a secured location. 

I'll also note that you can share your preferred Authenticator App with another device w/o it being in the cloud to ensure losing your device doesn't mean you lose access to your accounts.

Lastly, i'll add this disclaimer for anyone reading this far.

Hi Fred, thanks for sharing good practice. A few questions:
- Any recommended password manager?
- How do you prepare for when you lose access to the hardware that you store your passwords?

Yeah…the problem is that I never elected for this 2FA cloud storage. It just happened when google updated the authenticator app
