No Visible Security Warnings The phishing page mirrors the legitimate login portal without triggering security alerts, making it easy for users to fall victim to this attack.
Why 2FA is Not Enough Since attackers intercept 2FA codes instantly, even SMS, authenticator apps, or push notifications won’t protect users from this attack.
