Password Managers Are Being Targeted via Browser Sync

Threat actors are syncing compromised browsers to cloud-based password managers (e.g., Bitwarden, LastPass) to siphon saved logins—bypassing MFA by piggybacking sync tokens.

Require reauthentication when syncing on new devices. Flag multiple browser syncs to the same vault from different geos or OS fingerprints.

Users Are Skipping Security Warnings Out of Habit

Popups like "Unverified App," "Certificate Warning," or “This site may be dangerous” are being ignored due to alert fatigue and predictable placement.

Randomize alert UI layouts. Use timed dismissals or friction-based confirmations, and track skip rates to identify desensitized user segments.

CI/CD Tokens Are Being Leaked in Issue Trackers

Sensitive tokens embedded in error logs or debug outputs are accidentally posted in GitHub Issues, Jira tickets, or Slack bot replies—giving attackers valid credentials with no scanning required.

Apply pre-submission redaction. Scan public threads for secrets, and set short TTLs on dev environment credentials.

Legacy App DNS Is Still Pointing to Dead Infrastructure

Old internal apps and dev tools still have DNS entries active—some of which point to unowned cloud IPs or expired vendors, enabling subdomain takeover.

Automate DNS audits quarterly. Cross-reference with current hosting status, and decommission unused nameservers and wildcard subdomains.

Device Check-In Gaps Allow Mobile Fraud

Some MDM and EDR tools fail to flag mobile devices that haven’t checked in for weeks—yet still allow app-level access to email, Slack, or internal web apps.

Force revalidation after X days of inactivity. Tie access policies to check-in status, not just device registration.

SSO Misconfigurations Create Loopholes for Role Escalation

Improper group mapping or token handling in SSO systems (Okta, AzureAD, Ping) is allowing access to roles no longer assigned in HRIS platforms.

Audit IDP<>HRIS sync flows. Review token scopes in real time, and require bi-weekly group membership revalidations for sensitive access paths.
