The discussion highlights how tools like Evilginx (a reverse proxy) can intercept authentication tokens even when MFA is properly used. Best practices for password hygiene, authenticator apps vs SMS, hardware keys, and threat modeling are covered. The conversation also introduces ThreatLocker's zero trust cloud access product, which routes traffic through trusted infrastructure to block stolen-cookie attacks by enforcing IP-based conditional access policies. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
