I DID warn about this! - How Google Authenticator made one company's
network breach much, much worse
When Google enabled default syncing of authenticator via the cloud, I warned
of the risks, noted that I was disabling this "feature", and suggested that
everyone else do the same. Now you see one reason why. While this story
is complex, it's clear that Authenticator did make a bad situation much
worse, and Google's "net positive" argument really does not fly for anyone
who gets burned. -L
