According to BitMEX, Google's research shows that by enabling 2FA, almost all attempts to steal account credentials can be blocked. BitMEX agrees that 2FA is the best way to prevent such attacks and is considering enforcing 2FA authentication on its platform.

Electrum hackers pre-empted a large number of "normal" electrum servers on the P2P network.

If someone's Electrum wallet connects to one of these servers and tries to send a BTC transaction, they see an official message telling them to update their Electrum wallet, as well as a scam URL.

Electrum tweeted today about the incident, saying it was "a persistent phishing attack on Electrum users" and imploring users to check the effectiveness of the resources they log on to.
