What Is Causing MFA and Auth Apps to be Compromised?

Presented by

Kevin Surace, Chair | Token

About this talk

Every major breach headline today shares a common flaw—authentication that trusts too much. Attackers don’t need advanced exploits, they simply log in using social engineering, phishing sites, or real-time relays that manipulate human behavior. Employees feel protected by MFA apps and codes, yet those same tools are being turned against them. The weak point isn’t technology failure—it’s misplaced trust. MFA methods that depend on user judgment, shared secrets, or remote approvals are now the open door into the enterprise. In this session, we’ll expose why the tools once considered secure have become the attacker’s favorite weapon.
