India pauses blockchain-powered SMS spam-scrubber after it swallows people's one-time login codes

So India's Telecom Regulatory Authority are intercepting all SMS? Another example of why I keep telling my bank that SMS MFA is not secure. Especially when you require it every 5 minutes that I'm logged into their site and again if I actually try to do anything on the site. Annoying as hell and not secure given the number of people that could be snooping on SMS and surely thieves take a victim's phone as well as their wallet.

How long before GCHQ suggest they need the power to intercept ALL SMS in order to prevent SPAM?
