    “historic SMS text message with one-time passcodes for Steam, including the recipient’s phone number”.

    Oh, so they are selling phone numbers.

    The 2fa codes are useless after 1 min.

      Yeah, that’s pretty dumb.

      Were I a nefarious scheming hacker, I wouldn’t pay shit for that.

      Yeah. I think someone used the term “historic” appropriately, that it’s old

      And people are assuming it was used as an exaggeration like “this is a big deal”.
