Cybersecurity Threat Advisory: Milk Dragon Phishing Kit Uses Fake Social Media Deals to Steal Cards and One-Time Passcodes

Threat-Advisory-Banner3

Threat update

A phishing kit called Milk Dragon (also known as NaiLong) is being sold to criminals as a subscription service, and it is built for one job: turning a "too good to be true" social media deal into a fraudulent card charge. Victims click a discount ad on Facebook or TikTok, land on a cloned store that looks like a brand they trust and enter their card details.

Threat-Advisory-Banner3

Threat update

Researchers have demonstrated a new attack technique called TrustSink that abuses the multi-factor authentication (MFA) features in Microsoft Entra ID, the identity service behind Microsoft 365. An attacker who gains control of a high-level admin account can quietly add a fake MFA provider to the tenant. From then on, every time a user signs in, that fake provider captures their password in plain text while the login completes normally. Organizations that use Microsoft 365 should review their Entra ID authentication settings and lock down admin accounts now.
