NYDFS 2026 Vishing Advisory: Detection and Defense with SlashID

On February 6, 2026, NYDFS issued an industry letter warning DFS-regulated entities about a spike in targeted vishing attacks where threat actors impersonate IT help desk staff to steal credentials and MFA codes.

This post breaks down the technical mechanics of the campaign, why it reliably bypasses MFA, and how to detect and contain it using identity telemetry with SlashID Identity Protection, Mutual TOTP verification, and MITM detection.

Scattered Spider Tradecraft: Identity Abuse, Attack Flow, and Defense

Scattered Spider is a highly adaptive cybercrime group that breaches enterprises by abusing identity, trust, and legitimate access paths rather than malware exploits.

Learn about their identity-centric attack flow, real-world campaigns like the MGM and Caesars breaches, and how to defend against these sophisticated threats.

Microsoft Actor Token Forgery

Actor Token Forgery is one of the many techniques adopted by attackers to escalate privileges and move laterally via identity vector.

This post reconstructs the attack flow, maps it to MITRE ATT&CK, and outlines immediate detection and defense actions.

Access tokens strike again, the Salesloft Drift breach

In mid‑August 2025, GTIG confirmed a large‑scale credential‑harvesting and data‑theft campaign abusing trusted OAuth integrations (Drift) to access Salesforce orgs.

Attackers (UNC6395) used stolen Drift OAuth tokens to mass‑query Salesforce, mine embedded secrets (AWS, Snowflake), and pivot into connected platforms.

This post reconstructs the attack flow, maps it to MITRE ATT&CK, and outlines immediate detection and defense actions.

Illicit Consent-Granting & App Backdooring – Obtaining persistence in Entra

Attackers are increasingly targeting Entra ID by silently injecting high-privilege OAuth grants and backdooring enterprise apps—achieving persistence without user interaction.

This blog provides a technical deep dive into the full attack lifecycle - initial access, consent injection, privilege escalation, and evasion.

We map each stage to MITRE ATT&CK, show real-world Graph API and CLI techniques, and outline concrete detection signals and hardening practices for defenders.

Achieving Least Privilege: Unused Entitlement Removal

Unused entitlements are one of the easiest ways for an attacker to move laterally in a target environment.

However, reducing permissions is often very difficult due to availability concerns and the complexity of the permission systems.

This blog post explores how SlashID solves this problem so that customers can automatically resize identity permissions and

achieve least privilege.

Protecting against malicious OAuth 2.0 applications

Several Chrome extension developers were compromised in recent weeks by an attack seeking to create a backdoor in the

extensions.

The root cause of the breach was a phishing email that leveraged OAuth 2.0/OIDC to steal

the user credentials.

This blog post explores the details of such attacks and how SlashID can help detect them and contain

the blast radius.

Navigating PCI DSS 4.0: The Challenge of Non-Human Identities

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) has long served as the foundation for organizations handling payment card data, ensuring robust security measures are - in place to protect sensitive information

The release of PCI DSS version 4.0 on March 31, 2022, marked a significant evolution in the standard, introducing requirements and emphasizing areas that were previously under-addressed.

One such critical area is the management of non-human identities—service accounts, application accounts, APIs, and automated scripts that interact with cardholder data environments (CDE) or critical systems.

With the deadline of March 2025 fast approaching, we wrote a blog post to delves into the specific challenges companies face regarding non-human identities in PCI DSS v4.0 and - explores strategies to overcome them.

Identity Security: The problem(s) with federation

Federating trust with an identity provider (IdP) is common practice to centralize identity governance.

However, attackers can exploit identity federation to breach organizations or maintain persistence in a system.

This blog post explores common attack vectors against federated identities and effective mitigation strategies.

Non-Human Identities Security: Breaking down the problem

Compromised non-human identities are increasingly being leveraged by attackers to gain initial access and as a vector for lateral movement.

Microsoft, Cloudflare, and Dropbox are just a few of the companies that have fallen victim to this growing threat this year.

In this blog post, we focus on the attack vectors involved and on what actions companies must take to prevent these attacks.
