Twilio ended support for Authy desktop apps, forcibly logging users out and causing some desktop-stored 2FA tokens to be lost for users who had not synced with mobile; additionally, in June threat actors exploited an unsecured Authy API to enumerate and leak roughly 33 million phone numbers, raising privacy and account-targeting risks while Twilio patched the API and issued a final desktop release.
