Ransomware defense requires focusing on business resilience. This means patching issues promptly, improving user education, and deploying multi-factor authentication.
Researchers discovered a novel phishing attack that serves the victim a QR code as part of supposed multifactor authentication (MFA), in order to get around FIDO-based protections.
Hackers are exploiting trusted authentication flows — like Microsoft Teams and IoT logins — to trick users into handing over access tokens, bypassing MFA and slipping undetected into corporate networks.
