A sponsored piece analyzing how exposed email records (like the Figure breach of 967,200 records) enable credential stuffing, AI-assisted phishing, and real-time adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) relay attacks that bypass legacy MFA. It explains why push notifications, SMS OTPs, and TOTP are structurally vulnerable to relay attacks via tools like Evilginx, and argues that phishing-resistant authentication requires three simultaneous properties: cryptographic origin binding, hardware-bound private keys, and live biometric verification. The piece promotes Token's wearable biometric authentication platform as a solution that verifies the human rather than the device or session.
