A sophisticated adversary-in-the-middle phishing campaign is targeting universities, enterprises, and multinational institutions including EU and UN agencies. Active since May 2026, the operation leverages compromised organizational email accounts to distribute procurement-themed lures that mimic requests for information, bid invitations, and project documentation. Victims are redirected through fake document portals, CAPTCHA verification stages, and cloned authentication pages impersonating Microsoft, OpenGov, and financial institutions. The attacker rotates between multiple AiTM phishing kits including EvilProxy, FlowerStorm, and Kali365 to intercept MFA-protected sessions in real time, capturing session tokens and cookies to establish authenticated access. Rather than using newly registered domains, the actor compromises aged domains that have been dormant for years, injecting PHP files to host phishing infrastructure and evade detection through domain reputation systems.

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.

A significant expansion of the Kali365 phishing-as-a-service operation has been observed, now targeting multiple platforms beyond Microsoft 365. The operator abuses OAuth 2.0 device authorization flows to bypass MFA and steal authentication tokens. Key discoveries include a live command-and-control panel infrastructure, a phishing campaign impersonating MAX Messenger (Russia's state-backed messaging platform with 110 million users) through fake prize-claim flows, and a cluster of 126 malicious hosts impersonating services including Microsoft Outlook, Okta SSO, Xerox DocuShare, Mail.ru, Yandex Disk, and Odnoklassniki. The operation demonstrates a deliberate focus on Russian consumer platforms alongside Western enterprise targets, utilizing Telegram bots for credential exfiltration and employing a multi-tenant phishing platform distributed through Telegram channels.

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.

In early April 2026, a large-scale device code phishing campaign targeted organizations across multiple sectors and regions, exploiting OAuth 2.0 Device Authorization Grant. Threat actors leveraged the Kali365 phishing-as-a-service platform, originating primarily from IP address 216.203.20[.]95. The campaign used high-fidelity lures directing victims to Microsoft's legitimate device login flow, where users unknowingly authorized threat actor-controlled sessions. Captured OAuth tokens enabled immediate mailbox access and post-compromise activities. In some cases, attackers established malicious inbox rules to suppress security notifications, extending dwell time. The Kali365 platform operates as a multi-tenant PhaaS ecosystem supporting both device code abuse and adversary-in-the-middle session capture, featuring rapid lure generation across multiple languages and file types, Cloudflare Worker-hosted pages, and token sharing capabilities between affiliates.
