The New Phishing Click: How OAuth Consent Bypasses MFA
By [email protected] (The Hacker News)
AI Summary
A phishing-as-a-service platform called EvilTokens, launched in February 2026, compromised more than 340 Microsoft 365 organizations across five countries within five weeks by exploiting OAuth device code flow to bypass MFA. Victims were tricked into entering a short code at microsoft.com/devicelogin, completing their normal MFA challenge while unknowingly granting the attacker a persistent OAuth token. Security teams should audit conditional access policies for device code flow restrictions and monitor for anomalous OAuth consent grants.
