Session token theft bypasses MFA: cloud accounts taken over without a password

Infostealer malware and adversary-in-the-middle phishing steal post-login cookies, so traditional MFA is no longer enough.

ขโมย Session token ข้าม MFA: บัญชี Cloud ถูกยึดโดยไม่ต้องรู้รหัสผ่าน

Attackers no longer need your password. If they steal the session cookie issued after login and MFA, they can use email, file shares and SaaS as that user immediately.

How to defend

  • Adopt phishing-resistant MFA such as passkeys or FIDO2 keys
  • Use conditional access to bind sessions to managed devices
  • Shorten session lifetimes and revoke on suspicious behaviour
  • Run EDR to catch infostealers on user machines
