Security firm Huntress revealed token replay attacks on Microsoft 365. Attackers used stolen tokens to bypass passwords and MFA, registering controlled devices in Entra ID, altering MFA settings, and adding mail rules. Huntress warned that resetting passwords alone cannot stop persistent access; organizations must revoke active user sessions, remove unauthorized devices and MFA methods, and audit suspicious inbox rules.
