Summary: A phishing campaign has targeted Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) used by various organizations, including education, healthcare, and government entities, by leveraging spoofed login pages to steal credentials and bypass multi-factor authentication (MFA). The attackers aim to gain access to corporate email accounts for further exploits, including business email compromise. Abnormal Security recommends transitioning to more secure solutions and enhancing email filtering mechanisms to mitigate such phishing threats.
Affected: Education, healthcare, and government organizations
Keypoints :
- Phishing emails impersonate company IT teams, prompting users to log in for security updates.
- Victims are redirected to spoofed ADFS login pages where they unknowingly provide credentials and MFA codes.
- Attackers exploit stolen information to access accounts, steal data, and initiate additional phishing attacks.
- Recommendations include migrating to Microsoft Entra and implementing advanced email filters for threat detection.
