from BMC Daily Cyber News · host Jason Edwards

Daily Cyber News: Personal-phone scams open the door to Microsoft 365 data theft Attackers are reaching corporate cloud data by calling or texting employees on their personal phones. They pose as internal IT staff and create urgency around a passkey, multifactor authentication, or single sign-on setting that supposedly needs to be updated. The victim is then directed into a phishing or device-code flow that can hand over a usable Microsoft 365 session.
