In late January, Riot Games, the maker of the popular League of Legends multiplayer game, announced it had suffered a compromise <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkreading.com\/attacks-breaches\/not-playing-games-riot-games-latest-video-game-maker-to-suffer-breach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;via a social engineering attack,&#8221;<\/a> with the threat actors stealing code and delaying the company&#8217;s ability to release updates. Four months earlier, attackers successfully compromised and stole source code from Take Two Interactive&#8217;s Rockstar Games studio, the maker of the Grand Theft Auto franchise, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkreading.com\/attacks-breaches\/rockstar-games-confirms-grand-theft-auto-6-breach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">using compromised credentials<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The cost of even minor breaches caused by phishing attacks and credential theft continues to be high. In a survey of 1,350 IT professionals and IT security managers, three-quarters (75%) said that their company had suffered a successful email attack in the past year, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.barracuda.com\/2023\/02\/08\/real-cost-email-attack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the &#8220;2023 Email Security Trends&#8221; report<\/a> published by Barracuda Networks, a provider of application and data protection. In addition, the average firm saw its most expensive such attack cause more than $1 million in damages and recovery costs.<\/p>\n<p>Still, companies feel prepared to deal with both phishing and spear-phishing, with only 26% and 21% of respondents fearing they were unprepared. That&#8217;s&nbsp;an improvement from the 47% and 36%, respectively, who worried their firms were unprepared in 2019. Concerns over account takeover have become more common though, the report found.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[W]hile organizations may feel better equipped to prevent phishing attacks, they are not as&nbsp;prepared to deal with account takeover, which is usually a by-product of a successful phishing attack,&#8221; the report stated. &#8220;Account takeover is also a bigger concern for organizations with the majority of their employees working remotely.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"regular-text\">More Proof That 2FA is Not Enough<\/h2>\n<p>To head off credential-based attacks, companies are moving to MFA, usually in the form of&nbsp;two-factor authentication (2FA), where a one-time password is sent via text or email.&nbsp;Reddit&#8217;s Slowe, for example, confirmed that the company required 2FA. &#8220;Yup. It&#8217;s required for all employees, both for use on Reddit as well for all internal access,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/reddit\/comments\/10y427y\/comment\/j7w7iae\/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web2x&amp;context=3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he said during the AMA<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But techniques like MFA fatigue or &#8220;bombing&#8221; \u2014 as seen with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkreading.com\/attacks-breaches\/uber-breach-external-contractor-mfa-bombing-attack\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">last fall&#8217;s Uber attack<\/a> \u2014 make&nbsp;getting around 2FA a simple numbers game. In that scenario, the attackers send out repeated targeted phishing attacks to employees until someone gets tired of the notifications and&nbsp;gives up their credentials and the one-time password token.<\/p>\n<p>Moving to the next level beyond 2FA is starting to happen.&nbsp;Providers of identity and access management technologies, for instance,&nbsp;are adding more information around access requests, such as the user&#8217;s location, to add context that can be used to help determine whether access should be authenticated, says Tonia Dudley, CISO at Cofense, a phishing protection firm.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Threat actors will always look for ways to navigate around the technical controls we implement,&#8221; she says.&nbsp;&#8220;Organizations should still implement the use of MFA and continue to tune the control to protect employees.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"regular-text\">Employees Are Key to Cyber Defense<\/h2>\n<p>Ironically, the Reddit hack also demonstrates the advantages that employee training can deliver. The employee suspected something was wrong after entering credentials into the phishing site, and soon after contacted Reddit&#8217;s IT department. That&nbsp;reduced the attacker&#8217;s window of opportunity and limited the damage.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s time we stop looking as employees as a weakness and instead looking at them as the strength they are, or can be, for organizations,&#8221; Dudley&nbsp;says. &#8220;Organizations can only tune the technical controls so far &#8230; employees can offer that additional context of, &#8216;this just doesn&#8217;t seem right.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The employee at the center of the Reddit breach will not face long-term, punitive action, but did have all access revoked until the problem was resolved, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/reddit\/comments\/10y427y\/comment\/j7w961a\/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web2x&amp;context=3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reddit&#8217;s Slowe said<\/a> in the follow-up AMA.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The problem, as ever, is that it only takes one person to fall for [a phish],&#8221; <a
