Hackers responsible for a string of recent cyberattacks, including those on Twilio, MailChimp, Cloudflare, and Klaviyo, compromised over 130 organizations in the same phishing campaign.

Based on the phishing domains created in this campaign, the threat actors targeted companies in multiple industries, including cryptocurrency, technology, finance, and recruiting.
The attack begins with an SMS message and a link to a phishing page impersonating an Okta login page where victims are prompted to enter their account credentials and the 2FA codes.
The hackers then used these login credentials to gain access to corporate VPNs, networks, and internal customer support systems to steal customer data.
