Summary

Hide ▲

The Starkiller phishing platform has emerged as a SaaS-style criminal service, raising the scale and durability of credential theft operations. It is sold on the dark web with a subscription model, updates, and customer support. The platform proxies live login pages through attacker-controlled infrastructure, making the phishing page harder to fingerprint or block. By forwarding one-time codes and authentication tokens in real time, it can bypass MFA and help attackers seize accounts across major online services.
