Leidos flags token theft as cybersecurity risk that bypasses MFA
  • Session-token theft bypasses multi-factor authentication, exposing organizations that focus security controls on login rather than ongoing sessions.
  • Cheap, accessible attack tools enable large-scale theft, with malware harvesting browser tokens and phishing attacks capturing tokens during legitimate logins.
  • Detection systems often miss stolen-token reuse; long-lived tokens without device restrictions give attackers an extended window to operate.
