We do know. Check the texts you’ve gotten while signing into Signal. You’ll notice that they originate from short codes (like 22395) that are also used by other services like Discord, square pay, just to name two.

Furthermore, it still doesn’t matter whether Signal was using their authy service or not. There should be very tight data controls at Twilio where few employees would ever be able to retrieve clear text messages being sent to end users.

This incident is not getting nearly the attention it should imho.
