MFA Bypass & Authentication Attacks
Articles on multi-factor authentication bypass techniques, phishing, device code attacks, and account takeover defenses
Why Your Email Security Team Is Drowning—And How Behavioral AI Is the Lifeline
Phishing, business email compromise (BEC), and account takeover (ATO) attacks continue to overwhelm security teams with alert volume. This webinar explores how behavioral AI can automate detection, investigation, and remediation to relieve analyst backlogs.
Autonomous Defenders: Reframing the Phishing Threat for AI-Native Operating Systems
With the rise of AI-native operating systems and autonomous agentic workflows, the frontline against social engineering cyberattacks is migrating away from the individual employee. Instead of training humans to spot deceptive lures, the security burden is shifting to the OS and AI assistants themselves, exposing new architectural vulnerabilities like prompt injection, dynamic skill hijacking, and untrusted execution contexts.
Escaping the Triage Trap: Why Cybersecurity Incident Response is Pivoting to Behavioral AI Email Protections
An analysis of why traditional email security gateways and manual triage mechanisms fail against modern, payload-less BEC and ATO threats, creating an alert fatigue crisis, and how API-integrated behavioral AI models are automating the response.
Vulnerability in VS Code Web Sandbox Exposes Unscoped GitHub OAuth Tokens via Malicious Webviews
Security researcher Ammar Askar disclosed a zero-day vulnerability in github.dev that allows attackers to exfiltrate unscoped GitHub OAuth tokens using the postMessage keyboard shortcut event bubbling of VS Code webviews.
How Attackers Bypass MFA: Device Code Phishing and Authentication Workflow Exploits
Optimized analysis of how modern phishing attacks bypass multi-factor authentication through device code flows and trust-based credential theft, drawing on the BleepingComputer webinar with Abnormal AI.
