I have a question for the hive mind: what is the point of this, exactly?
I mean, I understand the attempt to gain access, and I understand why 2fa codes can be valuable to attempt to phish but that’s like, not the thing here.
They just spam dozens to hundreds of these (I’m showing over 400 in my inbox right now) but like, even if I WANTED to give these codes to the attacker, I have no damn clue who the dude in China that’s doing this is.
I’m confused as to what they hope to gain by trying over and over and over every couple of hours because it feels like there’s no upside to whomever is running this bot, but I probably have missed a memo on some TTP around this, heh.
For the record you should probably change your password. That way they can’t even try.
Some Microsoft services don’t ask for your password anymore, they just send you a code to your register email.
Yeah it turns out that’s what nonsense this is.
Worse, I sure as crap never opted into this, but at least you can turn it off.
What a stupid decision some product manager made.
Passwordless is the best.
Not when that password is just an email…
