Microsoft Authenticator - Constant Login Approval Requests

[jbarcus81]

So for the last few days, and excuse me if I'm not posting in the correct place... anyway, for the last few days I have been getting constant login approval requests from Microsoft Authenticator. I thought maybe someone was trying to get in so I changed my password and backup info... it did stop for a bit after, but now, it's back. I've had maybe 10 today alone. I check the history and there is nothing there.... under my recent activity it just lists my login to view the page, and my last login attempt which I signed into Outlook on my phone on June 18. What is going on? It's asking me to 'type in the code' that's displayed on my screen. I'm not doing it! Anyone else? Anything I should dig deeper into?

Hello,

What sort of Microsoft Authenticator account login approval requests are you getting?  It is a generic authentication app and can be used with all sorts of services (Microsoft Account, Google Account, websites and services that support multi-factor authentication, etc.).

It's requesting a login code as if I was signing into my account on my Windows machine.

If you look at the account logs more than likely it will be showing that the request is coming from Valley Nebraska. we have been seeing thousands of these the last day or so.

Do not enter the code under any circumstances, or you will be sorry. It's definitely and most likely a hacking attempt.  That happened to me a couple of years ago, and I kept receiving those prompts for months.

It's simply the attacker trying to get you tired of the constant requests, so you just give up and enter the code, so they can log in to your account.

Sounds like someone knows your email address and is repeatedly trying to log in, hoping you'll approve the MFA request (MFA fatigue). Definitely don't approve any prompts you didn't initiate. I'd also check that no unknown devices are signed into your account, sign out of all sessions, and consider changing your email.

Yeah, I signed out of everything when I changed the password to my account. I keep checking device history and there's never anything new other than my own activity.

I checked on the IPs associated with every login and they're all mine... And whenever I get a new prompt, there is no activity to show for it.

Hello,

Were you using a product or service from one of the companies affected by the Klue data breach?  See https://klue.com/blog/an-update-on-recent-klue-security-incident for the company's public statement.  That blog post does not list affected customer.

From looking around at reports, I created this list:

• Gong
• HackerOne
• Huntress
• Insurity
• Jamf
• LastPass
• OneTrust
• Recorded Future
• ReliaQuest
• Salesforce
• Snyk
• Sprout Social
• Tanium

It is likely there are other companies affected as well.
