Tech Tip

Fighting Back Against MFA Bombing

Multi-factor authentication is one of the best tools in your security toolbelt. Unfortunately, attackers try to exploit MFA with MFA Bombing—an attack that overwhelms users with MFA prompts hoping they'll slip up and approve one by mistake.

Spot the difference between legitimate and illegitimate requests:

  • Frequency:
    ✅  One request after you initiate a login = legitimate.
    ❌  Multiple = suspicious.
  • Timing:
    ✅  Prompt aligns with your activity = legitimate.
    ❌  Random timing = suspicious.
  • Location/Device:
    ✅ 
    Matches known locations/devices = legitimate.
    ❌  Unknown = suspicious.
  • Notifications:
    ✅ 
    Accompanied by alerts = legitimate.
    ❌  No alerts = suspicious.
  • Details:
    ✅ 
    Includes IP address, device type, service = legitimate.
    ❌  Missing details = suspicious.

How to better defend against MFA Bombing attempts:

  • Use strong, unique passwords.
  • Educate users about MFA bombing.
  • Implement adaptive MFA.
  • Enable login alerts.
  • Conduct regular security audits.
