How hackers bypass MFA - and what to do about it
Briefly

Businesses are facing increasing threats from sophisticated phishing tactics designed to bypass multi-factor authentication (MFA), particularly through adversary in the middle (AiTM) attacks. These tactics allow cybercriminals to intercept and modify communications, thereby stealing sensitive data and circumventing MFA protections. Experts emphasize the use of tools like Evilginx, which can create a reverse transparent proxy for misleading login pages. This evolution of attacks represents a serious concern as MFA becomes a critical security standard, underscoring the need for enhanced protections against such methods.
These attacks have the ability to circumnavigate typical security measures and allow them to intercept authentication tokens or credentials in real-time - and often without raising the alarm.
While the user believes they are signing in, they are in fact passing both their and MFA token to the attacker, who abuses these credentials for access.
