EvilTokens: The Phishing Service That Bypasses MFA Without Stealing Passwords
In early 2026, the EvilTokens Phishing-as-a-Service platform emerged, exploiting the OAuth 2.0 device authorization grant flow to compromise over 340 Microsoft 365 organizations across multiple countries within five weeks. This method bypasses traditional password theft by tricking users into completing legitimate multi-factor authentication (MFA) processes on genuine Microsoft login pages, thereby granting attackers access tokens without raising typical security alarms. The attackers then gain persistent access to corporate emails, files, and other sensitive resources, facilitating data exfiltration and business email compromise (BEC) attacks. This incident underscores the evolving sophistication of phishing techniques that render conventional MFA defenses insufficient. Organizations must reassess their security protocols to address these advanced threats, emphasizing the need for continuous monitoring and user education on emerging phishing tactics.

Inside the Modern SOC: Navigating 2026's Identity-Based Cyber Threats
In 2025, Unit 42 responded to over 750 major cyber incidents across various industries and countries. A significant trend observed was the rapid acceleration of attack timelines, with some adversaries moving from initial access to data exfiltration in just 72 minutes—a fourfold increase from the previous year. This surge is largely attributed to the integration of AI by threat actors, enhancing their speed and efficiency. Additionally, identity-based attacks have become predominant, with 65% of initial accesses driven by techniques such as social engineering and credential misuse. ([paloaltonetworks.com](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/blog/2026/02/unit-42-global-ir-report/?utm_source=openai)) The current cybersecurity landscape underscores the urgency for organizations to adapt to these evolving threats. The rise in AI-driven attacks and the exploitation of identity vulnerabilities necessitate a reevaluation of security strategies. Implementing robust identity and access management, enhancing monitoring capabilities, and adopting AI-driven defense mechanisms are crucial steps to mitigate these accelerated and sophisticated threats.

HITRUST CSF Compliance in the Cloud—How Aviatrix Secures Healthcare Data
How CNSF Protects Cloud Workloads
Cloud attackers don’t rely on a single exploit — they rely on paths.
Once inside, attackers move laterally between workloads, establish command-and-control through egress paths, and exfiltrate data through legitimate cloud services — often before detection tools generate an alert. These paths exist because most security architectures enforce at centralized inspection points, not at every workload. The paths that matter most are the ones that never reach a central firewall.
Aviatrix Cloud Native Security Fabric (CNSF) contains attacks by enforcing policy at every workload communication path — containing blast radius, blocking lateral movement, and cutting off egress before data leaves the environment.
With CNSF, enterprises can:
- Contain attack paths at runtime
Gain visibility into east-west and egress workload communication and apply controls that limit lateral movement, unauthorized egress, and uncontrolled trust expansion.
- Eliminate blind spots in workload-to-workload traffic
Observe traffic across VPCs/VNets, regions, and cloud providers using cloud native telemetry — including paths that posture tools and point controls don’t model.
- Secure modern and AI-driven workloads
Understand how agents, services, and workloads communicate at runtime, and enforce policy to reduce the risk of misuse, over-privileged access, or unintended data flows.
- Apply consistent Zero Trust controls without slowing teams
Enforce segmentation, egress control, and encryption centrally across clouds — without agents, application changes, or developer friction.
See Your Attack Paths. Close the Gaps with CNSF.
Blast radius starts where your enforcement stops.
Most security architectures enforce at centralized inspection points. Attackers move between workloads on paths that never reach those points — building blast radius invisibly until detection tools fire, often too late.
Your assessment delivers:
The Aviatrix Workload Attack Path Assessment (WAPA) analyzes real workload communication using cloud native telemetry to uncover attack paths already present in your environment — and shows how Cloud Native Security Fabric (CNSF) can break those paths with runtime enforcement.
The threat landscape has changed.
Has your question changed with it?
In March 2026, TeamPCP proved that detection-first architectures cannot contain attacks that move through trusted code, not around defenses. Today’s threat actors don’t break in — they log in, blend in, and expand silently. This command center tracks the evolving threat landscape and helps you measure your Blast Radius — the architectural metric that defines resilience in the Containment Era.
This command center tracks 8 active campaigns and measures your Blast Radius: what an attacker can reach once inside your environment.
