2026 Outlook
More fake helpdesk calls, fake device setup requests, and MFA “approval spam” attacks—especially where SMS codes are still used.
Defender Focus
- Use phishing-resistant MFA (passkeys, security keys)
- Lock down helpdesk reset processes
- Limit who can enroll devices
- Monitor impossible travel logins
