Fewer than 100 Steam users had the games installed, but Valve is adding a new SMS verification step for all developers to try to prevent it from happening again.

      RCS messages are encrypted using TLS.

          RCS is a replacement for SMS, used by the majority of mobile carriers in Europe, Northern America, and Asia. It is used by default in all supported regions.

              Most of them do, because as you have noted before, SMS protocol is not secure.

                  It’s not surprising if you haven’t come across the rollout of RCS. Google developed this feature as a replacement for the less secure SMS standards and aimed for a seamless implementation without causing user disruptions. This could be a rare instance where we commend Google for a change that benefits users, not just their bottom line.
