How MFA gets hacked — and strategies to prevent it
Use of multifactor authentication is on the rise, but must be done right to be an effective security tool. Here’s how to protect your org against common MFA attacks and threat modalities.
AI Summary
Multifactor authentication (MFA) is widely praised for its security benefits, yet it is still poorly, sporadically, and inconsistently implemented, reducing its effectiveness and adding workflow friction for users. Recent reports highlight innovative ways to bypass MFA, including an AI‑fueled phishing attack that uncovered cloud keys and SSH access details, and another AI‑based attack that exploited Claude Code. Even major vendors are not immune; a series of Okta attacks in 2023 led to stolen GitHub source code, an infected supply chain, and a compromised support portal. These incidents underscore the need for stronger, more consistent MFA deployment and better protection against AI‑driven attack vectors.
