So I heard it's a good idea to link public phone number for 2FA

Are you collecting them?

Pretty bad.
Definitely Insecure VOIP Number.

Dick move getting people banned, but that's just really dumb using a public number for your account.

Good thing i have no reason to share my phone number
and it's not due to the fact that i have no friends,right? ahahaha....ha.

Fucking asshole. I know they are idiots for linking their profile to a public phone but still :/.

At least they learned their lesson, it's good example for others who currenty have some public phone connected. xD

i'm pretty sure there was one guy that posted here like 1-2 weeks after the phone thingy have been added that he got vac banned and he didn't knew why and in the end he had public phone number
l.e: here's the poor guy https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/JRbKx/vac-for-idling

Kinda scriptkidz style.... Taking advantage of stupid people is not fun

All those poor skins... Why would anyone want to be such a (australian accent on) deck (australian accent off) to random people anyways?

Why! ;_;

They don't own a SMS capable phone and desperately need to trade those $$$$ skins without 15 day tradeban? :9

Well, at least one of those users deserved to get banned

Why tho seriously, like I said before I'm a complete dunderhead and even I know don't link accounts you wanna keep to anything public sheesh.

(Read in the voice of David Attenborough, or another famous documentary narrator):
And here we see a troll making people aware in the worst way possible, that successful 2-factor authentication relies on tokens that only the authenticating person has full control over, and are not available for use by everyone.

Those accounts look like smurfs / alts anyways.
People have no lives confirmed - once again ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, maybe not use such numbers...

What is 2fa ?

funny how the public cheat isn't even detected by vac

On a side note let me get this straight .
Im using my phone number on steam .... can i get VAC If some friend for example tries to use the same number for his account ?

Cus that sounds kinda retarded .

RIP accounts, what kind of asshole would actually do that

and similarly what kind of idiot would use a public phone number, doesn't that defeat the entire purpose of 2fa

Didn't expect to hear Oedo Controller here.

Can't really feel any kind of sorry for anyone getting booted from CS:GO. If one is this blatantly stupid, then a team-oriented game is more than likely better off without them.
