Gmail and Microsoft warn users to act now as evolved 2FA bypass attacks strike.
I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but if you didn’t already realize, you are under attack. No matter the operating system you use, the applications you rely upon or the faith you have in Big Tech to protect you, attackers are coming for your accounts and your data. The higher the profile of those accounts, the more valuable they are and the more hacking scrutiny they are under.
Trustwave recommended that security teams should “consider behavior-based monitoring, browser sandboxing, and a deeper inspection of JavaScript patterns” in order to stay one step ahead of the Tycoon 2FA attackers. Google and Microsoft, however, have some more straightforward advice for ordinary users when it comes to protecting themselves and their valuable accounts from the 2FA bypass hackers.
A Google spokesperson said that “passkeys substantially reduce the impact of phishing and other social engineering attacks. Google research has shown that security keys provide a stronger protection against automated bots, bulk phishing attacks, and targeted attacks than SMS, app-based one-time passwords, and other forms of traditional two-factor authentication.”
