A common threat targeting businesses is MFA fatigue attacks-a technique where a cybercriminal attempts to gain access to a corporate network by bombarding a user with MFA prompts until they finally accept one.
Using MFA Fatigue attacks, cybercriminals bombard their victims with repeated 2FA push notifications to trick them into authenticating their login attempts to increase their chances of gaining access to sensitive information.
One major MFA Fatigue attack, also known as MFA bombing, targeted the ride-sharing giant Uber in September 2022.
MFA fatigue is a technique that has gained popularity among hackers in recent years as part of their social engineering attacks.
As these MFA bombing attacks have obvious negative impacts on businesses, companies should ensure that all their critical infrastructures and resources are protected from internal or external threats.
You can prevent MFA bombing attacks by educating your users on security threats.
