token phishing

Token phishing is a growing cybersecurity threat where attackers steal authentication tokens to bypass multi-factor authentication and gain unauthorized access to systems. On WindowsForum.com, discussions highlight how token-stealing campaigns like EvilTokens target employees during onboarding, exploiting gaps in security awareness and compliance frameworks such as NIS-2 and the AI Act. The content emphasizes that traditional onboarding practices—issuing devices and assigning basic training—are insufficient against modern token phishing attacks. Instead, organizations must implement stricter access controls, continuous monitoring, and employee education to defend against token theft.
