That form of 2FA, while certainly more secure than single-factor authentication, is susceptible to SIM card jacking.

Until recently, cybersecurity experts could overlook stalkerware because of the personal nature of how it spreads, its muddled legal status—and how it is detected. Part of the problem, cybersecurity experts at the Enigma Conference in San Francisco last month said, is that until recently, stalkerware has been hard to even define.
