Protect Against Two-Factor Phishing Attempts
Dear Faculty and Staff, The Office of the CIO cybersecurity team would like to notify faculty and staff of an important matter related to cybersecurity and Duo MFA, the University of Illinois’s multi-factor authentication (MFA) solution. What is happening? Malicious actors have found ways to trick victims into giving away their multi-factor passcode or accepting a Duo push. What do I need to know? They repeatedly try to log in, bombarding your device with Duo MFA authentication requests, known as “MFA Fatigue.” Malicious actors hope to annoy you with so many authentication requests that you hit "Accept," or you might be tempted to turn off MFA entirely. Malicious actors may also mimic Duo login pages requesting you enter in a token. Do not enter in a token if you normally use another method and review this KB for additional attacks to be aware of. What do I need to do?
Where can I get support? Thank you. Kim Milford |
