Whisper 2FA

Whisper 2FA is a phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) kit used for rapid deployment of phishing campaigns and multi-factor authentication (MFA) bypass. Reporting cited in the content describes it as a lightweight kit that uses AJAX-based exfiltration to capture credentials and MFA codes in real time, including real-time validation of captured MFA codes. Supported MFA interception methods mentioned in the content include push notifications, SMS, voice calls, and app-based codes. Whisper 2FA has been used in phishing campaigns spoofing major brands including Microsoft 365, Adobe, and DocuSign, and Barracuda reported nearly one million phishing intrusions/attacks associated with the kit since July, making it the third most prevalent PhaaS kit after Tycoon and EvilProxy. The content also states it has benefited from ecosystem shifts following disruption of Tycoon 2FA and is considered an aggressive newer entrant alongside kits such as Sneaky 2FA. Recent versions are described as incorporating dense Base64 and XOR encoding layers, removal of readable text, anti-debugging and anti-analysis features, and behavior that can freeze the browser when developer analysis is detected. The content does not attribute Whisper 2FA to a specific threat actor, but it does indicate it is sold or leased as part of the broader professionalized PhaaS ecosystem.

MITRE ATT&CK

Techniques & procedures

2 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.

Initial Access

1 technique
T1566PhishingEvidence1

Security experts have issued a warning about the continued risk of Tycoon 2FA attacks... Before the takedown, Tycoon 2FA was behind tens of millions of phishing messages, reaching over 500,000 organizations each month worldwide.

Credential Access

1 technique
T1557Adversary-in-the-MiddleEvidence1

First spotted in August 2023, it used adversary in the middle (AitM) proxying to bypass traditional multi-factor authentication (MFA) and capture session cookies in real time, leading to large-scale account compromise.
