Don’t let MFA lull you into complacency. Advanced phishing kits can still slip through.
Before the Thanksgiving holiday, one of our customers alerted us to an Evilginx MITM phishing campaign targeting university students and SSO portals. At least 18 American institutions were targeted.
We tested several approaches for large-scale detection, including analyzing web server fingerprints and HTTP artifacts. However, this proved challenging because Evilginx operates as a proxy between the victim’s browser and the legitimate login page, making its behavior and content nearly indistinguishable from the real site. In the end, we mostly relied on DNS for confirmation and classification.
Here is a short blog about the campaign and actor, including involved domains and IPs.
