Attackers are increasingly automating session hijacking, undermining the effectiveness of traditional security measures like multi-factor authentication (MFA). By utilizing tools such as Axios and Node-Fetch, they can take over user sessions and validate stolen credentials rapidly. This advancement is complemented by the use of infostealer malware, which collects sensitive data, including session cookies. The alarming trend shows a 28% annual increase in exposed accounts due to session cookie theft, necessitating a heightened awareness among security teams to combat these evolving threats.
Attackers are now automating session hijacking, rendering traditional security measures like multi-factor authentication ineffective against certain tactics.
By exploiting everyday tools and techniques, hackers are able to bypass security protocols, utilizing automated session takeover strategies.
The use of infostealer malware has surged, leading to over 1 million accounts being compromised monthly across various online platforms.
Session tokens allow hackers to impersonate users directly, circumventing login processes and the need for MFA verification.
