About this tag
Storm-2372 is a Russian state-backed advanced persistent threat (APT) group that has been active since August 2024, primarily targeting Microsoft 365 accounts through device code phishing. This technique exploits the legitimate OAuth device authorization flow to bypass multi-factor authentication (MFA). The group often masquerades as high-ranking officials from government bodies such as the US State Department or Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, using Microsoft Teams invites and other lures. Microsoft has issued warnings about this campaign, which poses significant risks to Windows users, IT administrators, and critical infrastructure. Understanding the mechanics of device code phishing and implementing robust security measures are essential for defense.
