Modern supply chain attacks increasingly exploit trusted access paths rather than breaking through defenses. Attackers abuse browser APIs to harvest camera, microphone, and device data after tricking users into granting permissions. QR code phishing (quishing) shifts attacks to mobile devices by embedding malicious links in legitimate-looking PDFs. Adversary-in-the-middle (AITM) techniques intercept MFA codes and session tokens, rendering traditional authentication insufficient. Defense requires shifting from perimeter security to context-driven approaches: strict browser permission governance, behavioral monitoring, Zero Trust architecture, and user awareness training. The post concludes with a promotion of Cyble Titan as an endpoint security platform for detecting these threats.
