> for the 100,000th time, just stop using phone numbers for 2FA.

I agree, and I say this to whoever asks me too, and I avoid any services that still use phone numbers as a way to associate it to you (Signal, I’m looking at ya!)

However, easier said than done, some services still require you to use a phone number, like banks, some government agencies, insurance companies, etc., the services that actually matter if your data get leaked. I believe there should be a regulation to prevent using the phone in any way to confirm your ID, and never force you to provide one to access such services.
