Summary

Hide ▲

A new phishing-as-a-service operation tied to Jinkusu is proxying real login pages through attacker infrastructure, making MFA bypass and account takeover easier for low-skill cybercriminal customers. The service lets users impersonate major brands, generate deceptive URLs, and relay victim credentials and tokens through a Docker-hosted browser. That shift commoditizes phishing infrastructure and weakens traditional defenses such as domain blocklisting and static page analysis.
