'In a paper for IEEE Security, researchers from Cyberpion and Israel's
College of Management Academic Studies describe a "Password Reset
Man-in-the-Middle Attack" that leverages a bunch of clever insights into
how password resets work to steal your email account (and other kinds of
accounts), even when it's protected by two-factor authentication.'

Take note when signing up to new sites!
