• MFA bypass: how bad actors can circumvent strong security [telecom]

    From Bill Horne@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 2 07:29:53 2023
    Multifactor authentication, or MFA, is widely used to help prevent
    malicious actors from gaining access to your accounts. Multifactor authentication also goes by names like 2-Step Verification or
    two-factor authentication. UNC-Chapel Hill uses two 2-Step services,
    Microsoft and Duo Security, to protect accounts and data at the
    University.

    MFA means that more than one authentication method, or factor, is
    required to allow you access to an account. An example would be
    requiring both a password as your first factor and a code you receive
    via text as your second factor.
