Alarming Tycoon2FA Phishing Attack Exposes Microsoft 365 Users

Alarming Tycoon2FA Phishing Attack Exposes Microsoft 365 Users – Here’s How to Stay Safe

This source describes the Tycoon2FA phishing campaign, a sophisticated attack specifically targeting Microsoft 365 users. The attack utilizes clever URL manipulation by using backslashes instead of forward slashes to evade traditional email security filters. Once clicked, the links lead to deceptive redirection chains and ultimately a phishing page designed to harvest user credentials. A significant aspect of this attack is its ability to bypass multi-factor authentication (MFA) through Phishing-as-a-Service infrastructure, allowing attackers full account access and potentially leading to severe data breaches. The article also provides key technical takeaways, indicators of compromise, and recommendations for protection, such as upgrading email filters, deploying real-time threat intelligence, and educating the workforce. ...

“Cookie Bite” Entra ID Attack Exposes Microsoft 365

“Cookie Bite” Entra ID Attack Exposes Microsoft 365: A Critical Cloud Security Wake-Up Call

“Cookie Bite” attack, a novel method where malicious browser extensions steal authentication cookies like ESTSAUTH and ESTSAUTHPERSISTENT from users of Microsoft 365 and Azure Entra ID. By leveraging these cookies, attackers can bypass Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and hijack legitimate sessions, gaining unauthorized access to services like Outlook, Teams, and SharePoint. This attack is particularly dangerous because it operates within the browser and does not require system-level compromise, making it difficult to detect through traditional security measures. The article highlights the risks of this attack, including data exfiltration and internal impersonation, and outlines mitigation strategies such as monitoring risk-based sign-ins, implementing browser-level protections, and limiting session persistence. It also introduces Technijian's security services as a solution to protect against this and similar threats. ... Read More
