The most expensive lesson

This is fascinating on a number of fronts. The most obvious is the lack of recourse on crypto currencies, and the reminder that there are so many attacks against SMS that it's not a 2 factor option, but it's also a reminder that I should start carrying my Yubikey (even though that's also gonna mean carrying a USB-C adapter), and paying more attention to how I store my 2FA recovery keys.

My favorite is Apple's 2FA, where you can get the challenge and the passcode sent to the same machine.
