Phishing attacks have surged in 2026 as AI-powered phishing-as-a-service kits enable threat actors to bypass multi-factor authentication and harvest OAuth tokens at scale. Two phishing tools were identified in active campaigns: Jalisco, a device code phishing toolkit that provisions fresh OAuth codes in real time to defeat time-based security controls, and OmegaLord, a credential harvester that captures phone numbers alongside passwords to intercept MFA. Both tools demonstrate that attackers are engineering sophisticated methods to defeat authentication controls. These toolkits are part of a broader ecosystem that includes AI-powered PhaaS kits like EvilTokens and Kali365, which leverage legitimate cloud platforms to evade detection. Following compromise, attackers establish persistence by enrolling multiple devices to victim Entra ID tenants, enabling access that survives password resets and extends the window for data exfiltration and extortion.

EvilTokens is a sophisticated phishing kit that conceals critical components of its attack through browser-side AES-GCM encryption, creating visibility gaps for traditional static URL analysis. The kit exploits Microsoft's legitimate device login flow through OAuth device-code phishing to gain account access without directly stealing passwords. Targeting organizations primarily in the United States and Europe, EvilTokens focuses on managed security services, technology, manufacturing, education, banking, and consulting sectors. The encrypted landing page only reveals its malicious content after browser decryption, requiring dynamic analysis to uncover the complete attack chain. The kit uses multiple stages including gate checks, user code requests, and session monitoring to complete Microsoft 365 account takeovers while appearing legitimate through final redirects to OneDrive.

Device code phishing attacks have exploded across the threat landscape, with new toolkits emerging weekly. This surge coincides with publicly released criminal toolkits and multiple phishing-as-a-service offerings like EvilTokens and Tycoon. Threat actors abuse the OAuth 2.0 device authorization grant flow to compromise Microsoft 365 and other enterprise accounts by tricking users into authorizing malicious applications. Current implementations use on-demand code generation, addressing the 15-minute expiration limitation of previous techniques. Most activity appears to be generated using AI-based coding techniques. Successful attacks lead to full account takeover, data theft, business email compromise, and potential ransomware deployment. The technique represents the natural evolution of credential phishing as organizations improve their defenses against traditional multifactor authentication bypass methods.

EvilTokens is a new Phishing-as-a-Service offering a turnkey Microsoft device code phishing kit. It enables attackers to harvest access and refresh tokens, granting unauthorized access to victims' Microsoft accounts. The kit supports post-compromise operations, allowing data exfiltration from various Microsoft services. EvilTokens has been rapidly adopted by cybercriminals since March 2026, impacting organizations globally. The service provides advanced capabilities for account takeover, including token conversion to Primary Refresh Tokens and browser cookies for persistent access. Phishing campaigns using EvilTokens target employees in finance, HR, logistics, and sales, primarily for Business Email Compromise attacks.
