Nope, the most restrictive option available is to disallow tokens and require 2FA. I think that using exclusively hardware 2FA and not having the backup codes on the compromised machine probably would have prevented this attack though.

Someone in the linked Github thread describes an attack where the attackers waited for the victim to use their Yubikey for an AWS login, giving the attackers access to AWS as well. I don't think hardware 2FA is safe against a RAT.
