Massive phishing hack mimics Microsoft Office #shorts

Don’t log in! That’s not Microsoft Office!
In March 2023, Microsoft’s Threat Intelligence Team exposed a threat called DEV-1101, which advertised for an open-source phishing kit to deploy an adversary-in-the-middle (or AiTM)campaign by mimicking Microsoft Office and Outlook service pages and by-passing multi-factor authentication.

If you don’t know, an AiTM attack is when a bad actor intercepts and modifies communications between two parties, typically a user and a website or service. Its goal is to steal sensitive or financial information, such as login credentials and credit card data.

Unfortunately, these threats are more difficult to detect than other types of phishing attacks because it doesn’t rely on a spoofed email or websites.
You can protect yourself better with MFA, security solutions, and consistently updating operating systems.
