🚨 “𝐑𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫 2𝐅𝐀” 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐊𝐢𝐭 𝐓𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭 365 𝐔𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐢𝐓𝐌 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬 🚨 Cybercriminals are escalating their efforts with the new "𝐑𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫 2𝐅𝐀" phishing toolkit, a dangerous service that bypasses two-factor authentication (2FA) and steals 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭 365 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬. This malicious toolkit, available for as little as $200, employs highly sophisticated adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) attacks to intercept login information even when MFA is in use. Since May 2024, the campaign has been causing havoc across multiple sectors, targeting Microsoft user accounts via fake, car-themed landing pages. With over 5,000 hits on compromised domains, the threat is rapidly growing. What makes this attack even more alarming is the seamless nature of the phishing emails, often appearing as legitimate messages related to e-signatures, payroll, IT alerts, and more. As cybercriminals exploit trusted platforms to deliver these attacks, traditional spam filters are ineffective, making detection and prevention more challenging. It’s crucial to stay vigilant, especially when dealing with suspicious links, QR codes, and emails.
