Hackers Create Hidden Microsoft 365 Inbox Rules to Conceal Vendor Payment Fraud
Threat actors are increasingly abusing Microsoft 365 identity sessions rather than deploying malware, as shown in a cloud-only business email compromise (BEC). The attackers used an adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) phishing kit to capture an authenticated Microsoft 365 session token, bypass multi-factor authentication, and quietly redirect vendor payments to attacker-controlled bank accounts. The lure contained a “View…

Identity Is Broken. Stop Trying to Fix It.
Tags: access, authentication, credentials, cryptography, data, identity, infrastructure, mfa, zero-trustFrom the earliest days of public-key cryptography and systems like Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA), organizations have relied on identity and credentials to determine who can access IT environments, data, and applications. Over the decades, this infrastructure has undergone innovations like multi-factor authentication, single sign-on, identity providers, and zero-trust architectures. Then, there has been the emergence of various..…

Detecting AS-REP roasting in Active Directory authentication logs
AS-REP roasting is one of those identity attacks that can sit quietly in the background until an attacker has already gained useful foothold. For defenders, the challenge is not understanding the offensive technique in detail, but knowing what telemetry exists, what patterns matter, and how to turn that into a reliable detection. In a UK……
