Tech companies like Google and Facebook have already built tools to protect against the vulnerability of SMS-based two-factor authentication.
Google has its Authenticator app that uses randomly generated numeric code with a strict time limit and Facebook now uses a similar tool built into the Facebook app itself.
The photo-messaging app lacked any two-factor protection until 2016 when it already had 400 million users.
