Attackers continually refine their methods to compromise user identities and gain unauthorized access to sensitive systems. One particularly insidious threat is Evilginx, a phishing framework designed to bypass traditional multi-factor authentication (MFA) by operating as an adversary-in-the-middle (AitM) — sometimes known as man-in-the-middle (MitM) — proxy. Evilginx intercepts and manipulates communication between users and legitimate sites, enabling attackers to steal credentials, session cookies, and other sensitive data. It’s a favorite tool of threat groups such as the Russian-based Star Blizzard, as warned in a joint advisory from CISA, the UK National Cyber Security Centre, the Australian Cyber Security Centre, and the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security, among other governmental security bodies.
