Every IT Need, One Trusted Partner
Even accounts protected by MFA or 2FA can be compromised in seconds through phishing. Here’s how it happens, and how we help businesses stay one step ahead.
1. How the attack happens in under a minute
It starts with a phishing email prompting the user to verify identity to access a document.
The user clicks, enters their username, password, and MFA code, and unknowingly submits it all to a fake login page.
On the attacker’s end, those credentials and the authentication token are captured instantly. The hacker copies the stolen session cookie into their browser and logs into the victim’s account — without needing to bypass security systems or request new codes.
This quick exchange demonstrates how even a single click can defeat traditional MFA and 2FA protections.
2. It’s not just Microsoft — this method targets any 2FA-protected system
This type of phishing doesn’t target one platform — it can compromise:
- Email and collaboration tools (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Slack, Teams)
- Financial and cloud services (banks, CRMs, SaaS apps)
- VPNs and remote work access
Any service that relies on manually entering a one-time code can be exploited. Once attackers have your session token, they have your identity.
3. Why MFA and 2FA alone aren’t bulletproof
While MFA is essential, traditional implementations can still be phishable. Attackers use real-time proxy pages to intercept credentials and codes, or replay valid tokens.
Common weak points include:
- Phished MFA/2FA codes entered into fake sites.
- Session token replay, allowing instant impersonation.
- User fatigue attacks, where people approve multiple login requests.
- Overlooking URL authenticity, the simplest yet most common mistake.
4. We help building phishing resistance with smarter protection
At 24/7 Network Service, we strengthen security without slowing anyone down. Our approach combines simple, effective tools that stop phishing and credential theft before they cause damage.
- Passkeys replace passwords with secure device-based logins, making stolen credentials useless.
- Duo Security adds adaptive MFA that checks each login’s context — blocking suspicious or risky attempts automatically.
- ThreatLocker Cloud Control restricts what apps and cloud services can run, so even if credentials leak, attackers can’t act on them.
- Conditional access ensures only trusted users and devices can reach sensitive systems.
Together, these tools form a quiet, intelligent defense that keeps teams productive and accounts protected.
5. We empower users through security awareness training
Technology can block many threats, but awareness stops them at the source.
That’s why 24/7 Network Service provides User Security Awareness Training powered by ID Agent.
Our training helps teams:
- Recognize phishing attempts before clicking.
- Verify URLs and attachments safely.
- Practice secure MFA/2FA habits.
- Build a lasting culture of cyber vigilance.
Regular, scenario-based training turns employees from the weakest link into the first line of defense.
Phishing has evolved — attackers no longer need to “guess” passwords; they capture valid sessions. But with stronger authentication, smarter controls, and trained users, these attacks can be stopped before they start.
At 24/7 Network Service, we combine ThreatLocker Cloud Control, Duo Security, Passkeys, and Security Awareness Training to deliver a truly resilient cybersecurity ecosystem.
