Live by the cloud, die by the cloud.

The most any normal user can do is to use 2-factor authentication, 2FA, with U2F fobs.

U2F devices work with Google, Twitter, and 75+ other major online sites. U2F is a standard, so not tied to 1 maker or 1 site. They don't have the same problems that SMS (cellular text) does. A single U2F device is under US$20 and works across all those different services. Multi-authentication devices which support 6 separate instances of U2F, TOTP, HOTP and one other standard (which slips my mind now) are under US$50. Yubico and OnlyKey are popular vendors. There are others.

Google says that less than 10% of their users have signed up for 2FA. Passwords alone just aren't sufficient when your business depends on a service/account.

Conspiracy theories

Could one be Hannity's been looking even more foolish lately and thinks playing the victimized-by-the-deep-state (plus Obama and the 'libs') will get his followers back watching, or maybe just get him, as Fox 'news' leading entertainer, more free publicity.

When it comes to conspiracy theories, the possibilities abound. It's a plot I tell ya!

any media personnel that gets involved with and takes one side or the other of a critical issue with high emotion that affects the readership/listenership/watchership and "influence" and "affect" those in power or wealth related to that power, definitely gets attention as well as offensive, defensive action either in the form of distraction, misinformation, misdirection and more but definitely "interference"

that reaction is most violent when "truth" is exposed...

Hannity by being outspoken got that reaction from sources known and unknown, directly and indirectly...

a warning..?

next...Tucker..?

Hannity preaches sedition. He is an enemy of our country.

The fact that Hannity has a job, any job, tells you how far American standards have fallen.

Thank God for Hannity, is a hero and without him, we’d be living in a liberal echo chamber.

Not too shabby. Fallen, more like rising.
