Snapshot: Microsoft acquires Phonefactor - 70733
Report Details
On October 4th Microsoft announced the acquisition of Phonefactor, a provider of phone-based multifactor authentication. Microsoft informed us about this acquisition only in a blog post on their Windows Azure blog at the MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network) website . There is no official press release out, but Phonefactor itself provides some information at their website .

However it could turn out as an acquisition which massively affects the market for multifactor authentication.
