Case Study:
Strengthening IT Security with Senior Specialist(Akash’s) Expertise:
In a recent incident involving unauthorized access to a user's mailbox, Akash Shah's expertise proved instrumental in resolving the issue swiftly and effectively. By conducting a thorough analysis of the attack vector and leveraging advanced forensic techniques, Akash identified the root cause of the breach and implemented remediation measures to prevent future incidents. Through his guidance and support, the victim regained control of their digital workspace and emerged stronger and more resilient against cyber threats.
The Incident:
On the 1st of February 2024, a user encountered a seemingly innocuous email from ***@ehbuild.com. Little did they know this email would set off a chain of events leading to unauthorized access to their mailbox. Upon attempting to open a document attached to the email, the user was prompted for their Office 365 credentials and subjected to Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Despite these security measures, the attacker successfully accessed the user's mailbox, highlighting the insidious nature of modern phishing techniques.
Understanding the Attack:
The attack unfolded in two parts: token stealing and pass-the-cookie. Token stealing involves the illicit acquisition of session cookies, allowing attackers to bypass authentication controls even with MFA in place. By injecting stolen tokens into a new browser session, attackers can impersonate compromised users indefinitely. Pass-the-cookie attacks exploit browser cookies to bypass authentication checkpoints, enabling attackers to access corporate resources undetected. Personal devices, with weaker security controls and additional attack vectors, are particularly vulnerable to such attacks.
