Dangerous Invitations: Russian Threat Actor Spoofs European Security Events in Targeted Phishing Attacks In early 2025, Volexity published two blog posts detailing a new trend among Russian threat actors targeting organizations through the abuse of Microsoft 365 OAuth and Device Code authentication workf...

@volexity.com tracks a variety of threat actors abusing Device Code & OAuth authentication workflows to phish credentials, which continue to see success due to creative social engineering. Our latest blog post details Russian threat actor UTA0355’s campaigns impersonating European security events.

@volexity.com has continued to see nation-state threat actors use AI + LLMs to assist in cyber attacks. Our recent research on a Chinese APT threat actor (UTA0388) using AI in its operation was something @stevenadair.bsky.social recently discussed with the @wsj.com.
