A reverse-proxy Phishing-as-a-Service platform called EvilProxy has emerged, promising to steal authentication tokens to bypass multi-factor authentication on Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter, GitHub, GoDaddy, and even PyPI. The service enables low-skill threat actors who don't know how to set up reverse proxies to steal online accounts that are otherwise well-protected. The difference between these phishing frameworks and EvilProxy is that the latter is far simpler to deploy, offers detailed instructional videos and tutorials, a user-friendly graphical interface, and a rich selection of cloned phishing pages for popular internet services.
