Multi-factor auth fatigue is real – and it's why you might be in the headlines next
, between December 2021 and August, the number of multi-factor MFA attacks spiked. There were 22,859 Azure Active Directory Protection sessions with multiple failed MFA attempts last December. In August, there were 40,942.
There also are push notifications, which are prompts on a user's mobile device if there is an attempt to use their credentials to sign into a system or account. The prompts ask for verification that the user is the one trying to sign in. In an MFA fatigue situation, the attacker uses the stolen credentials to try to sign into an protected account over and over, overwhelming the user with push notifications. The user may initially tap on the prompt saying it isn't them trying to sign in, but eventually they wear down from the spamming and accept it just to stop their phone going off. They may assume it's a temporary glitch or an automated system causing the surge in requests.
Sometimes the attacker will pose as part of the organization's IT staff, messaging the employee to accept the access attempt.Like phishing and other attacks, MFA fatigue relies on social engineering to access the corporate network "It's an attack method which preys on the employee to be a human," John Spiegel, director of strategy and field CTO for Axis Security, told."The intent is to get the victim to become frustrated with countless MFA requests and finally click 'approve.' We've all experienced something similar with technology.

Frontiers | Acute Effect of a Dietary Multi-Ingredient Nootropic as a Cognitive Enhancer in Young Healthy Adults: A Randomized, Triple-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled, Crossover TrialAim: To study the acute effect of a dietary multi-ingredient nootropic on cognitive performance in young healthy adults. We also analyzed the influence of the dietary multi-ingredient nootropic on emotional state, heart rate (HR), and heart rate variability (HRV). Methods: This is a randomized, triple-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover trial. 26 young healthy adults (50% women; 24.9±3.3 years old) ingested 10g of a dietary multi-ingredient nootropic [Evo-Gamers®; Harrison Sport Nutrition (HSN), Granada, Spain] or placebo (maltodextrin) in a randomized order (clinicaltrials.gov No. NCT04790188). After 30 min of the ingestion, participants performed a battery of cognitive performance tests to measure processing speed, inhibitory control, working memory, cognitive flexibility, creativity, and verbal fluency. Emotional status was assessed through questionnaires and HR and HRV were measured using a heart rate monitor. Results: In comparison with placebo, the acute ingestion of the nootropic showed a significantly better response time in several cognitive tests (i.e., processing speed, inhibitory control, spatial working memory, and cognitive flexibility, all P0.05). Conclusion: An acute ingestion of a dietary multi-ingredient nootropic enhances cognitive performance in comparison with placebo without negatively influencing HR or HRV in young healthy adults.
