Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is increasingly vulnerable as cybercriminals develop new tactics, particularly adversary-in-the-middle attacks that evade traditional protections. Researchers at Cisco Talos highlight that attackers now use reverse proxy servers to intercept login credentials and session cookies. Additionally, the rise of Phishing-as-a-Service platforms empowers less skilled criminals to execute advanced phishing attacks using pre-made toolkits. Existing defenses like spam filters and basic cyber training are proving inadequate, necessitating an urgent reevaluation of security measures to effectively thwart these evolving threats.
More and more cybercriminals can carry out professional and large-scale phishing campaigns, particularly due to the accessibility of Phishing-as-a-Service platforms.
The shift in attack tactics requires a review of existing security strategies within organizations to combat rising adversary-in-the-middle attacks.
