It reads “Enabling MFA across all accounts that are used for online transactions is also advised, as is the manual monitoring of personal accounts for any potential malicious activity.”

There is no mention of how the MFA is configured yet again — in a security-enhancing multi-layer formation or in a security-destructive multi-entrance formation? Usually the former does not involve biometrics while the latter always involves biometrics.

We will certainly come to rescue them if they feel the need to be rescued. We can do it better now than before; We are supported by the most advance quantum resistant cryptography from QRC, Switzerland.
