Picture this… you’re fast asleep after a hectic day at work, when suddenly your phone starts buzzing.
It’s multiple notifications from different apps checking it’s really you trying to log in.
You’re half asleep and confused with all these Multi Factor Authentication requests. So you hit YES – and they stop.

An MFA fatigue attack is a type of cyberattack that exploits the weaknesses of multi-factor authentication (MFA) systems. It is used to gain unauthorized access to an online account or service by repeatedly attempting to authenticate with different combinations of credentials. The attacker will use a variety of techniques, such as phishing, brute force attacks, and credential stuffing, in order to gain access. This type of attack can be difficult for organizations to detect and prevent due to its sophisticated nature. However, organizations can take steps such as using strong passwords and implementing two-factor authentication in order to protect against MFA fatigue attacks..
This type of attack is also known as an MFA bypass, brute force attack, credential stuffing, prompt bombing, or a push harassment attack
Like all attacks the most effective ways to help reduce risk is MFA, strong passwords, and staff cyber security and awareness training.
