Analysed 16 Jun 2026·2 sources analysed·tech
FBI Warns of Kali365 Phishing Tool Bypassing Microsoft 365 Multi-Factor AuthenticationPreviousNext

The FBI has issued a warning about Kali365, a phishing-as-a-service toolkit first detected in April 2026 that targets Microsoft 365 users by bypassing multi-factor authentication. Distributed via Telegram, Kali365 exploits Microsoft's OAuth device code flow to capture access tokens without stealing passwords, enabling attackers to access services like Outlook and Teams. The platform offers automated phishing tools and real-time tracking, lowering the skill barrier for cybercriminals and affecting sectors including healthcare, finance, and government.
