MICROSOFT DISRUPTS AI-ASSISTED PLATFORM THAT COMPROMISED 12,000 ACCOUNTS

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

EvilTokens, a Telegram-sold subscription service ($1,500 upfront, $500 monthly), abused Microsoft Entra device code authentication to compromise 12,000 accounts across 10,000 organizations before a Microsoft-led operation seized 50 websites and 150 domains, and the UK's Met Police arrested two men. Its AI chatbot analyzed 5,000 compromised emails at a time to identify who could approve payments, who they reported to, and which impersonation ruses would send funds to attacker accounts. Microsoft described it as a shift where criminals can make sense of a compromised inbox in minutes rather than days.
