A new phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) platform, known as Rockstar 2FA, has emerged, enabling cybercriminals to launch sophisticated phishing attacks targeting Microsoft 365 accounts.
How Rockstar 2FA Works:
- AiTM Attacks: The platform facilitates adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) attacks, allowing attackers to intercept authentication requests and steal session cookies.
- Phishing Page Deployment: The platform provides tools to create and deploy highly convincing phishing pages that mimic legitimate Microsoft 365 login pages.
- Credential Theft: Once a victim enters their credentials on the fake page, the attacker captures them and uses them to access the victim’s account.
Key Features of Rockstar 2FA:
- Advanced Phishing Techniques: The platform offers features like Cloudflare Turnstile integration to bypass bot detection and enhance the legitimacy of phishing pages.
- Automated Delivery: It automates the delivery of phishing emails using various methods, including compromised accounts and legitimate email marketing platforms.
- User-Friendly Interface: The platform’s user-friendly interface makes it easy for cybercriminals to launch and manage phishing campaigns.
The Growing Threat:
The emergence of Rockstar 2FA underscores the ongoing threat posed by phishing attacks. Cybercriminals continue to refine their techniques, making it increasingly difficult to distinguish between legitimate and malicious emails.
