Adversary-in-the-Middle
When MFA is no longer enough
You thought you were safe with a password and MFA code. But what if a hacker hijacks your entire login session? AiTM attacks bypass MFA completely.

The hacker sits right in the middle
Here is how an Adversary-in-the-Middle attack works, step by step:
- 1
You enter your credentials on a fake login page that looks identical to Microsoft
- 2
The hacker forwards your credentials and MFA code to the real Microsoft page
- 3
Microsoft issues a valid access token (session cookie)
- 4
The hacker intercepts this token — they are now “you” in the cloud
No break-in traces, but full access
After a successful AiTM attack, the hacker has everything needed to cause damage.
-
MFA is no longer enough
The hacker steals the session after you have approved MFA
-
Access to everything
Email (payment fraud), SharePoint (data theft), contacts (spreading the hack)
-
It happens everywhere
44% occurs outside the office network, at home or on the go
