Bypassing MFA: The Rising Threat and How SmishAlert.ai Protects Your Business

The Growing Threat of MFA Bypass

As reported by Security Magazine, the bypassing of multi-factor authentication (MFA) protocols is becoming alarmingly common in cybercrime incidents. What's more concerning is that employees often aid these breaches, falling victim to sophisticated phishing emails and approving fake authentication requests. As a result, business wire fraud losses are skyrocketing, and by the time the error is discovered, it's often too late to recover the lost funds.

The Role of SMS Security

The bypassing of MFA, often through deceptive SMS messages, highlights the importance of robust SMS security. Attackers are increasingly using text messages to trick employees into revealing sensitive information or approving fraudulent requests. This is where SmishAlert's advanced SMS threat detection and filtering capabilities come into play.
