This typically involves exploiting vulnerabilities in systems or tricking users into providing codes.
Here's what this entails:
- Phishing Attacks: A common method involves tricking the user into revealing their OTP through fake login pages or fraudulent SMS messages.
- SIM Swapping: Attackers convince mobile providers to transfer a victim's phone number to a new SIM card, intercepting the OTP.
- Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks: Intercepting communication between the user and the service, often using phishing or malicious links, to capture the OTP and other credentials.
- Social Engineering: Attackers can manipulate users into disclosing OTP codes or convince support teams to disable 2FA.
