There are still some numbers that are sending verification codes on behalf of GOOGLE.once someone set a security code to be sent to his phone number before he or she logs to her account,this 2FA code is suppossed to be sent by Google but not a a mobile phone number from Uganda.If such a number can hijack a message from google or yahoo then it means he or she can easily log into your account.Remember that one of the login ids is your phone number..and if the scammer or the hacker is able to send a message to your phone number ,then he or she can use the same phone number and account's verification code sent to enter your account.It means that ,they are still some malicious people here using simcard boxing!!There are other IP adresses that try to take over people accounts and these IP adresses are a range of IP addresses managed or owned by one telecom company here in Uganda! I have a proof,even yesterday soem phone number tried to send 2FA code on behalf of google.If such a number can send verification messages in behalf of google,then such a number has the ability to get all messages sent to you more notably ,messages from western union,paypal,bank accounts connected to our mobile money..etc.I advice some groups of people and public figures like our minister to always tighten the security of their social media accounts and mails .Yesterday an MTN number as sent a 2FA code to a phone number on behalf of google and for my reasons am not going to present the number here but to people i trust and all who love the security of our people ,you can and know how to get to my inbox!I started noticing and investigating this thing from late 2016 up to day and i have a list of very many phone numbers that were involved in sending such 2FA codes on behalf of google,facebook,instagram,yahoo!Please take this serious and secure our people!!
