   In case you had not noticed 2FA via text to your smartphone has become a   
   security standard, "forcing" you to reveal your cell number to quite a   
   few vendors.   
      
   In my case,   
      
   Banks   
   Brokerage firms   
   Microsoft   
   Apple   
   Civil Air Patrol eServices   
   My insurance providers   
   IRS   
   Indiana Dept. of Revenue   
   Social Security Admin.   
   Medicare   
   Google   
   Credit Bureaus   
      
   Did all these actors "murder" privacy?
