Tycoon2FA has resumed a broad phishing campaign after a major takedown, and it is again compromising email accounts while bypassing MFA. The operation uses adversary-in-the-middle (AITM) interception to capture live sessions and push victims to decoy and credential-capture pages. CrowdStrike observed at least 30 suspected incidents between March 4 and March 6, showing the service rebounded quickly despite domain seizures.

    Tycoon2FA resumes phishing activity after Europol takedown

    Campaign Scope Update

    Tycoon2FA resumed phishing activity after a Europol-coordinated takedown that seized 330 domains across six countries, and the platform quickly returned to early 2026 levels. CrowdStrike said Tycoon2FA continued to compromise email accounts and bypass multifactor authentication (MFA) using adversary-in-the-middle (AITM) interception, and it observed at least 30 suspected Tycoon2FA-enabled phishing incidents involving decoy and credential-capture pages, compromised domains, legitimate cloud-service redirection, IPv6 addresses tied to automated cloud logins, and AI-generated decoy pages.
