Can I still get hacked even with multiple 2FA methods enabled?

Hey everyone,
I simply came across a publish about somebody who obtained hacked by way of Google and ended up dropping all their money. From what I perceive, their account was compromised, and the attackers used the Google Authenticator backup codes (which sync by default) to bypass 2FA.

Apparently, Google syncs these codes routinely until you flip it off manually.

Right now, I've the next 2FA methods enabled on my accounts:

  • Passkeys (Biometrics)
  • Authenticator App
  • E-mail
  • Telephone Number

My query is: Can I still get hacked and lose the whole lot even with all of those protections in place?
Is it potential, for example, that the Authenticator App might override or bypass the other 2FA strategies by some means?

Thanks prematurely for any insight.
