Security researchers from Fox-It they discovered that a hacker group linked to the Chinese government is managed to bypass the two-factor authentication security mechanism (2F).
There 2F is a security feature designed for ensure that only one user can access your account even if the password is discovered by someone else. With two-factor authentication it is necessary to confirm access by entering, from a registered device, an access code generated from time to time.
Our comment
News which, if confirmed, is rather disturbing as two-factor authentication has always been considered almost inviolable by everyone. In this case it seems that the hackers managed to get hold of the RSA tokens so we should still be safe using authentication apps like Aegis.
