Summary: The rise of Phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS) has democratized access to sophisticated phishing technologies, allowing cybercriminals of varying skill levels to conduct sophisticated attacks with ease. A recent report from Abnormal Security reveals how these platforms provide tools that enable attackers to bypass multi-factor authentication and evade security measures. The competitive nature of the PhaaS market drives continuous innovation, making traditional security defenses less effective.
Affected: Organizations using email for sensitive transactions and authentication
Keypoints :
- Phishing-as-a-Service platforms offer subscription-based access to pre-built phishing kits and automated tools.
- Attackers can bypass multi-factor authentication through session hijacking methods, using fake login pages.
- Dynamic URL generation in PhaaS makes traditional email security defenses ineffective against phishing attacks.
