PCMag: How to Hack Twitter's Two-Factor Authentication

http://j.mp/10YVC2m  (PCMag)

    In a short, droll video about Twitter's two-factor authentication,
    Alexander congratulates Twitter for joining a "security two-step
    program" and taking the first step, admitting a problem exists. He
    then goes on to illustrate just how little the SMS-based two-factor
    authentication helps. "Your new solution leaves the door wide open,"
    said Alexander, "for the same man-in-the-middle attacks that
    compromised the reputations of major news sources and celebrities."
