After reading all of the hype in the comments, I was disappointed by the actual article. There's about one paragraph of actual material about the ("spear") phishing attack.

There are not any details about the progress of the attackers or the speed of the attack, which would have been interesting to me. There are no details about any losses from the attack (or profits to the attacker).

Once the employee provided a TOTP code to the attacker, the only surprise is that they get control of the other codes by cloud sync (as extensively commented on here).

Regardless of the hate, this could happen to anyone. But... big L for reading out your TOTP code to somebody. (If more details about the deepfake come out, then it might be more exciting.)
