Title: "Malicious Mail: The Dark Side of 2FA Bypass in Email Clients"

Just had a wild discovery in my research on email security - it looks like some email clients are vulnerable to bypassing 2FA (two-factor authentication) through certain malicious methods. I'm not sure what's crazier, the fact that this is possible or that we're only just now finding out about it. Has anyone else encountered this in their email setup or heard whispers about it?

"Lol just got phished last week using a smishing attack on my 2FA-enabled account still managed to get my credentials I'm starting to think even 2FA isn't as secure as we think"

"Lol at anyone still using their email client for 2FA, that's just asking for trouble. Even if you implement 2FA, it's not foolproof, as this article shows. Can someone tell me why we're still using email clients to get notifications and not just a self-hosted solution?"

"Yikes, didn't know 2FA bypass was a thing. This thread is a good reminder to stay vigilant with my email security. Has anyone else noticed any suspicious activity in their email clients recently?"

"Just wanted to chime in, but seems like these types of attacks can easily be mitigated with a hardware 2FA like a YubiKey. Not to mention, using a dedicated email client like ProtonMail or Tutanota already has some built-in security features. Just my 2 cents."

"Lol, this is some scary stuff right here. The fact that some 2FA bypasses are being exploited through email clients is a major red flag. Anyone using 2FA, take extra precautions, bro."
