How Cyber Criminals Try to Hack Your Accounts While You Sleep
Tired of endless notifications from your multi-factor authentication (MFA) app? Cyber criminals are exploiting this "MFA fatigue" to target your valuable business data. MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring multiple identity verifications. However, attackers flood employees with constant MFA notifications, increasing the likelihood of someone authenticating a login attempt out of frustration or exhaustion.
Luckily, there's a solution. Microsoft Authenticator has introduced number matching to combat MFA fatigue. When you receive an MFA notification, the app displays a random number that you must input to authenticate the login attempt and prove your legitimacy. Additionally, Microsoft Authenticator supports biometric authentication, allowing you to use your face, fingerprint, or other unique physical features for identity verification.
If you already use Microsoft Authenticator, number matching is ready to use. Simply make sure your app is up-to-date, and you'll be protected. By leveraging these security measures, your business can outsmart cyber criminals and safeguard your sensitive data. If you want to enhance your security, we're here to assist.
