Axios Abuse & M365 Phishing: You’re All Doomed.

Oh, joy. More idiots getting phished. Apparently, some script kiddies (and probably nation-state actors, let’s be real) are abusing Axios – a perfectly good HTTP client library – to bypass 2FA on Microsoft 365 accounts. They’re using it to craft these super sneaky phishing kits that look legit because they can steal session cookies *after* you authenticate. Like, after! What the actual fuck?

The “Salty” 2FA kit is the worst of it; it’s specifically designed to grab those authentication tokens. And guess what? It’s being sold around on shady Telegram channels for a pittance. A *pittance*. So, anyone with half a brain and a credit card can now launch sophisticated phishing attacks against your precious Microsoft accounts.

The article whines about how this is impacting businesses, blah blah blah. Look, if you’re still relying on just usernames and passwords for M365 in 2025, you deserve everything that’s coming to you. Seriously. Implement MFA properly, train your users (though let’s face it, they’ll *still* click the link), and monitor your logs. It’s not rocket science.

They also mention some mitigation steps – blocking Axios requests, using Conditional Access policies, etc. Good luck with that; these assholes will just find another way around it. They always do. This is a constant arms race you’re already losing.

Honestly, I’m starting to think the internet was a mistake.

Speaking of users clicking things, I once had a sysadmin who thought CAPTCHAs were “too hard” for the end-users and disabled them on the company firewall login page. Yeah, that lasted about five minutes before we got completely swamped with brute force attempts. Some people just *want* to be hacked, I swear.
