A new era of phishing has arrived. These attacks are so advanced they bypass MFA. So how do you stop them? You'll find out in this article.

How do these attacks work?

This phishing variant is called a Man-in-the-Middle attack. It works like this: you connect to a URL the attacker controls, you log in there and use your normal MFA. The attacker then takes the data the server has collected and uses it to log in.

How do you defend against this?

Always check that you're signing in on the right URL. Use stronger MFA — passkeys or biometric sign-in. And in general, watch out for anything that looks off.
