Bypassing 2FA with AiTM: How Unixi Stops Credential Theft

Introduction Two-factor authentication (2FA) has long been hailed as one of the most effective ways to safeguard online accounts against unauthorized access. However, despite its strength, 2FA is not impervious to clever attackers. One such attack vector that has been gaining traction is the Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) attack. This sophisticated technique allows attackers to bypass 2FA […]

MFA Cannot Stand Alone Series: The Risks of SIM Swapping

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is widely recognized for enhancing security by requiring at least two forms of verification: usually something you know (like a password) and something you have (typically a mobile device). This method undoubtedly complicates a hacker’s job by necessitating the breach of two security barriers instead of one. However, MFA is not foolproof. […]
