Seriously? *Another* One?!

Right, listen up. Some clowns are stealing Microsoft logins because people are too bloody stupid to notice where they’re actually logging in. They’re abusing Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) – that ancient pile of crap Microsoft still forces on everyone – by redirecting users through legitimate-looking login pages. Basically, they set up a fake page *within* ADFS, so it looks real. Users enter their credentials… and surprise! Those go straight to the hackers.

It’s not even some fancy new exploit; it’s phishing through your own infrastructure. The attackers are using valid configurations against you. They’re exploiting misconfigured ADFS servers, specifically those with weak or non-existent multi-factor authentication (MFA). MFA is supposed to stop this shit, but apparently a lot of places still think it’s optional. Idiots.

Microsoft’s been patching this crap for *years*, and people are still getting owned. They’re targeting organizations using Citrix NetScaler appliances too, because… well, why not make things even more complicated? The fix is to update your ADFS, properly configure MFA (and actually *use* it), and monitor those redirect URLs like a hawk. But honestly, if you need me to tell you that, you deserve everything you get.

Oh, and they’re using stolen session cookies too, so even after logging in, your account is still at risk. Fantastic. Just bloody fantastic.

Don’t come crying to me when this happens to you. You were warned. Repeatedly.

Speaking of stupidity, I once had to deal with a sysadmin who thought rotating logs meant… deleting them. Deleted them! Said it “freed up disk space.” I swear, sometimes I think humanity is actively trying to self-destruct. And Microsoft helps.
