Greatness PhaaS Adds Device Code Phishing to Bypass MFA and Steal Tokens
Greatness PhaaS adds device code phishing to bypass MFA and steal tokens.
The Greatness phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) toolkit has updated to include device code phishing, a technique that exploits the OAuth 2.0 Device Authorization Grant to bypass MFA and steal user tokens. This expansion allows Greatness to offer adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) credential and token theft, device code phishing, and OAuth consent abuse from a single platform, targeting services like iCloud, Yahoo, and Google Workspace.

The lesson from this incident
Full lessonThe Greatness PhaaS platform has evolved to exploit the OAuth 2.0 Device Authorization Grant flow, allowing attackers to bypass multi-factor authentication entirely by stealing session tokens rather than credentials. This matters because traditional MFA — often considered a gold-standard defense — provides no protection when the authentication flow itself is hijacked through device code phishing. Victims are tricked into authorizing attacker-controlled devices, granting persistent access without ever surrendering a password. The consolidation of AiTM, device code phishing, and OAuth abuse into a single commoditized toolkit dramatically lowers the barrier for cybercriminals to launch sophisticated identity attacks at scale.
What helps against this
How we list vendors- Phishing-resistant MFA
A stolen password, or a user who taps Approve on a push prompt, is no longer enough to log in.
- Email security
Phishing, malware and invoice fraud are filtered out before they reach inboxes.
- Security awareness training and phishing simulation
People recognise and report attacks instead of falling for them.
