Rising account takeovers bypass MFA using phishing, session hijacks

Intelligence Summary

Account takeover attempts are increasing as adversaries work around traditional controls. Phishing remains a primary entry point, tricking users into revealing credentials. Attackers also abuse session hijacking to take over active logins. MFA can be weakened through MFA fatigue and social engineering that persuades users to approve prompts. Organizations can reduce risk by strengthening device trust, enforcing continuous verification, and monitoring authentication behavior for anomalies.

Recommended Action

Review affected assets, schedule urgent remediation, and monitor related indicators.
