Eviltokens: A Conversation with Huntress on an AI‑Enabled Device Code Phishing Campaign

In this episode of the Microsoft Threat Intelligence Podcast, host⁠ ⁠⁠Sherrod DeGrippo joins researchers from Huntress to break down the rise of EvilTokens, an AI-powered phishing-as-a-service platform designed to bypass MFA and automate credential theft at scale. Together, they explore how attackers are leveraging legitimate authentication flows, trusted infrastructure, and AI-generated phishing lures to blend malicious activity into normal enterprise traffic. The conversation also examines how modern phishing operations have evolved into highly professionalized cybercrime ecosystems and what defenders must do to adapt their identity security strategies.

In this episode you’ll learn:
