🚨 Microsoft Azure Users Targeted By Advanced Password Spray Attacks Recent reports have revealed that a sophisticated botnet, dubbed CovertNetwork-1658 by Microsoft, has been used by Chinese threat actors to execute highly evasive password spray attacks targeting Microsoft Azure cloud service users. These attacks leverage a vast network of compromised devices to gain unauthorized access to accounts, posing significant risks to organizations across multiple sectors, including: - Think Tanks - Government Agencies - NGOs - Law Firms - Defense Organizations 🛡️ Read the full analysis here: https://lnkd.in/gPrHBUQX The password spray attacks on Azure highlight the need for advanced security measures to protect privileged accounts and critical systems. Tim Royston-Webb, CEO of SentryBay, stresses the importance of adopting a "clean keyboard" approach for Privileged Access Workstations (PAWs). This strategy involves limiting access to sensitive systems and encrypting entry points, such as keyboards, to prevent credential theft at its source. “Data breaches like these demonstrate that defensive postures alone are insufficient. As seen with this attack, spreading login attempts across thousands of devices can bypass MFA, exposing accounts. Protecting the point of entry, the keyboard, will complete the security layer necessary to reduce the risk of exposure,” Royston-Webb said. 🛡️ Read the full analysis here: https://lnkd.in/gPrHBUQX #botnetattack #azure #AVD #microsoftazure #MFA #endpointprotection #cleankeyboard

🚨 Microsoft Azure MFA Vulnerability Exploited in Under An Hour! A critical vulnerability in Microsoft Azure’s Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) system has been uncovered by researchers. This flaw allowed unauthorized access to a wide range of user data, including Outlook emails, OneDrive files, Teams chats, and Azure Cloud resources. "The Microsoft Azure MFA vulnerability exploited by the AuthQuake bypass technique reveals a critical gap in the security of widely used authentication systems," commented Tim Royston-Webb, CEO, SentryBay. "Data breaches continue to prove that defensive postures are not enough. As we have seen with this latest breach, MFA and other digital keys can be bypassed to exploit keyed ID’s and passwords. Only by encrypting the point of entry, namely the keyboard, will we complete the security layer to prevent ID exploitation." 🛡️ Read the full analysis here: https://lnkd.in/gRRgrpsX #azure #AVD #microsoftazure #MFA #endpointprotection #cleankeyboard
