Organizations that rely heavily on MFA for security are becoming more vulnerable to various attacks on their systems' infrastructure, workstations, and human elements. This white paper explores 13 different ways attackers bypass MFA, divided into three key attack vectors: hacking the human, hacking the workstation, and hacking the authentication infrastructure itself. Each of these attack vectors is a significant point of vulnerability, with techniques ranging from exploiting authentication tokens and session hijacking to social engineering and phishing attacks.

The methods described demonstrate the continuously evolving nature of cyber threats. Infrastructure attacks frequently target the foundations of authentication systems, jeopardizing trust even from MFA. Workstation-based attacks target vulnerabilities in the devices where credentials and MFA tokens are stored or used, whereas humantargeted attacks trick users into unknowingly bypassing security protocols
