identity protection

About this tag
Discussions on WindowsForum.com about identity protection focus on recent threats to Microsoft 365 and Windows authentication systems. Topics include phishing-as-a-service platforms like Kali365 and EvilTokens that abuse OAuth device-code flows to bypass multifactor authentication, as well as vulnerabilities such as CVE-2026-32079 in Windows Web Account Manager and CVE-2026-20849 in Kerberos that could lead to information disclosure or privilege escalation. These threads emphasize that securing identity requires more than enabling MFA; organizations must also protect authentication workflows and patch critical vulnerabilities in Active Directory and Windows identity subsystems.
