non-interactive sign-ins
About this tag
Non-interactive sign-ins refer to authentication events that occur without direct user interaction, such as those used by applications, scripts, or automated services. On WindowsForum.com, discussions highlight how attackers exploit non-interactive sign-ins to bypass traditional security measures like multi-factor authentication (MFA). A major botnet campaign targeting Microsoft 365 accounts uses password spraying attacks against non-interactive sign-ins, leveraging legacy Basic Authentication to gain unauthorized access. These attacks often involve compromised devices and can lead to credential leaks and data breaches. The community emphasizes the importance of disabling legacy authentication, enforcing conditional access policies, and using modern authentication protocols to secure non-interactive sign-ins against evolving threats.
