Hackers have found a way to gain unauthorized access to Google accounts, bypassing any multi-factor authentication (MFA) the user may have set up. To do this they steal authentication cookies and then extend their lifespan. It doesn’t even help if the owner of the account changes their password.

Since the discovery of the exploit, numerous white and black hat security researchers have looked into and discussed the issue. As a result, the exploit is now built into various information stealers.

A devious, new phishing technique allows adversaries to bypass multi-factor authentication (MFA) by secretly having victims log into their accounts directly on attacker-controlled servers using the VNC screen sharing system.

One of the biggest obstacles to successful phishing attacks is bypassing multi-factor authentication (MFA) configured on the targeted victim's email accounts.

Even if threat actors can convince users to enter their credentials on a phishing site, if MFA protects the account, fully compromising the account still requires the one-time passcode sent to the victim.

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have released a joint advisory warning that Russia-backed threat actors hacked the network of an unnamed non-governmental entity by exploiting a combination of flaws.

"As early as May 2021, Russian state-sponsored cyber actors took advantage of a misconfigured account set to default [multi-factor authentication] protocols at a non-governmental organization (NGO), allowing them to enroll a new device for MFA and access the victim network," the agencies said.

Proofpoint researchers have found that “phish kits” available for purchase online are beginning to adapt to MFA by adding transparent reverse proxies to their list of tools.
