Hackers from China and Russia are breaking into Microsoft 365 accounts using a method called device code phishing. This trick involves stealing passwords and taking over accounts.

How It Works

Hackers send fake emails with suspicious links. When users click on these links, they are asked to enter a login code. This code gives hackers access to their accounts.

This is not a new trick, but more hackers are using it now. Microsoft is trying to stop these attacks with detection tools, but hackers keep finding new ways to trick people.

Stay Safe Online

  • Don't click on suspicious links
  • Don't enter codes from unknown emails
  • Be careful with your passwords
  • Don't share passwords with anyone
  • Be on the lookout for fake emails

Hackers are targeting many accounts, stealing information and causing trouble. Stay alert to keep your accounts safe.
