IMO, they should have made it a simple mailed print/postcard subscription with an email newsletter with the jpg wallpaper. You could even provide access to a private wallpaper app that changes it for you monthly if people want that.
LTT has the right mentality that supporting an influencer should give you something physical for your support or when asking a superchat on a livestream that may or may not get answered.
Youtubers regularly swap the video thumbnail + title. Youtube even has tools to A/B test various thumbnails + titles nowadays for different users.
I can confirm that the title "I Hacked My Friend's Phone to Show How Easy It Is" was the actual title when the video was uploaded. However you're right that it now looks like it changed to "Exposing The Flaw In Our Phone System" a day later.
Feels like SS7 was deliberately left vulnerable from requests within the country for tracking purposes. A lot of the security seems to be done with firewalls within the walled garden so it's easier for the five eyes to track cell phones live without giving direct access to the databases.
That said, the real world example Veratasium used was chilling.
Having LinusTechTips as a 2nd example (whos showing off his new apple phone) was a nice counter too. I'm pretty sure LTT uses multi factor+user auth though so I'm guessing that sms 2fa email was an alt email for personal use.
Gonna have to watch that 2014 presentation on ss7 it seems.
I had the same thought on SS7 being kept vulnerable on purpose. With continuous attempts in EU and elsewhere on tapping the E2EE communication and the fact that email remains insecure despite so many proposals makes me think this really is one of those things that get agreed upon behind closed UN doors. And I am NOT a fan of conspiracy theories.
I think that lack of information, i.e. any effort to remediate this, is an information in itself.
Banks usually have information they can ask like Social Secuirty Number (which is inevitably in some leak).
eBay is the first one that comes to mind. I know I've run into it a couple of other times where a website will just offer to text you a code, but usually there is a small link you can click that says "use my password instead".
Facebook and Amazon don't have my cell phone number, but I bet they have an option.
I don't usually try to reset my passwords since I use a password manager, so it's probably more common than that.
Chromium/Chrome can also get ChromeOS and it's hardware division since most of the complications in chrome are there to reimplement a Phone/Desktop OS.

> Leia: Chewie, get up here! We're going into an asteroid field!
> Han: That's no problem. Just don't hit whatever asteroid might be within a hundred thousand kilometres.
> Han: They're in nice stable orbits too, so it's easy to avoid them.
> Leia: Okay, fine. We're going into a massive region of randomly moving, closely packed, enormous giant space rocks.
> Han: Gaaaaaah!
