📲 MFA Fatigue: The Silent Killer of Two-Factor Security
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) was supposed to keep us safe—but now, it’s being exploited. Attackers are launching MFA fatigue attacks by spamming users with nonstop push notifications until they finally hit “approve.”
Real Case Example:
A major ride-sharing company was breached when an employee approved one of dozens of MFA requests out of frustration.
Why It’s Working:
Push notifications are interruptive, and users often approve them without thinking.
Attackers count on human error—and often win.
Stop the Spam:
Switch to number matching or FIDO2 hardware keys instead of basic push-based MFA.
Educate users to never approve unexpected login prompts.
Monitor for excessive MFA requests—it’s a red flag for account compromise.
👁️ MFA isn’t bulletproof. But with the right setup, it can still be your best defense.

🚨 Credential Stuffing Surge: Your Leaked Passwords Are Fueling Attacks
With billions of passwords leaked on the dark web, credential stuffing attacks are skyrocketing. Bots try stolen credentials across dozens of sites in seconds—and if you reuse passwords, you’re toast.
What’s Driving It:
Massive leaks from forums, marketplaces, and SaaS platforms.
Automated tools that test credentials across banking, email, and social logins.
Weak password policies and no 2FA at login.
How to Fight Back:
Use a password manager with random, unique logins per site.
Enforce rate limits and bot protection on all login pages.
Scan for leaked credentials tied to your domain.
🛡️ It’s not about “if” your password is leaked—it’s about what you’ve reused it on.
👋 Final Word
Security isn’t just about tools—it’s about behavior. MFA fatigue and password reuse are human gaps attackers love to exploit. Stay vigilant, update your systems, and train your people. That’s how you win in cybersecurity.
