You should check with the Authy CEO and president. Notice how he only tags the authy twitter account and not the presidents https://twitter.com/marcboroditsky
And wording of that tweet is vague, it doesn't say Authy confirmed anything, just that "reached out to help confirm". Hopefully their help will be along the lines of "here's contact info for CEX and Coinbase, give them a call"
If I was a high-profle client like CEX or Coinbase and I heard that one of our vendors for security was going around telling other clients how we are being outperformed like that I would be pretty pissed. Especially in public and would strongly consider taking my business elsewhere to a place that doesn't have such loose lips about our business with them.
If these statements are true, as a user of Authy, I find it very disturbing.
Be sure to email them and make them aware of that.

Josh Garza of GAW Miner has tweeted that:
Josh Garza @gawceo
The President of AUTHY just reached out to help confirm our previous statements. That's nice of them, more on that. Thanks @Authy
https://twitter.com/gawceo/status/540028154996596737
This statement, along with another deleted tweet, said that GAW has more 2 factor authentications then all other AUTHY customers and AUTHY said that GAW is stressing AUTHY network.
If these statements are true and AUTHY is releasing customer usage data to other businesses, then I no long wish to use AUTHY. I have used AUTHY for the past ~9 months and no longer feel safe using AUTHY if those statements are true.
I have AUTHY set-up with a different email account and I'm using a different due to the concerns mentioned above.
