Adversaries Are Spoofing QR-Based MFA Flows
New attack kits mimic legitimate MFA QR prompts used by enterprise apps. Victims scan a fake code that proxies authentication back to the attacker in real-time.
Use domain-restricted QR verification, deploy browser-integrated identity protection, and avoid QR MFA as a primary method without backup validation.
Abandoned SaaS Dashboards Still Contain Live Tokens
Old dashboards from decommissioned teams (marketing, product, data) often contain functioning API keys, webhook secrets, and user tokens—accessible by anyone with the link.
Purge abandoned assets quarterly. Flag unaudited apps for IT review, and require token expiration at the account level, not just service-level.
Reverse Proxy Apps Are Being Used for Phishing Detection Evasion
Phishing kits now include reverse proxies that spoof the target site in real time—passing MFA, session cookies, and telemetry while staying invisible to URL scanners.
Implement session fingerprinting, block known proxy services, and use behavioral MFA tied to device ID, not just challenge-response.

Smart Office Hardware Is Creating Shadow Admin Access
Conference room touch panels, badge scanners, and HVAC dashboards often come with default admin credentials—many still in use and reachable via internal IP.
Run credential rotation for all IoT systems, firewall off smart panels, and restrict SNMP/SSH access entirely unless explicitly needed.
AI-Generated Incident Summaries Are Missing Regulatory Triggers
In a rush to brief leadership, teams are using LLMs to summarize IR tickets—but these often skip key breach details that trigger disclosure requirements under GDPR or HIPAA.
Require human validation for regulatory flags, build LLM prompts with compliance checklists, and use post-LLM review flows for external communication.
Compliance Teams Are Logging Everything—Without Securing the Logs
To meet audit requirements, many orgs generate detailed logs of access, tickets, and app usage—but fail to protect the log infrastructure itself. These logs are now targets.
Treat logs as critical data. Encrypt at rest, limit access by business unit, and monitor log systems for anomalous access patterns.
