Phishing Frenzy: Havoc Demon Uses Microsoft Graph to Hijack SharePoint – How to Stay Safe!
The latest phishing campaign employs the modified Havoc Demon Agent and Microsoft Graph API to infiltrate systems through SharePoint. With ClickFix tactics and multi-stage malware, attackers cleverly hide within trusted platforms, complicating detection. This sophisticated method highlights the growing complexity of cyber-attacks and the need for enhanced security measures.
Hot Take:
In a world where phishing emails are the digital version of the Nigerian prince scam, this new campaign is the equivalent of a Netflix drama: full of twists, Russian dialogue, and a plot so complex that it makes Inception look like a documentary.
