Cyber Fact Friday: Too Many MFA Requests Can Be a Warning Sign
Getting repeated MFA notifications you didn't initiate?
Don't just dismiss them.
Attackers may deliberately send repeated login or MFA requests hoping that a frustrated user will eventually approve one just to make the notifications stop. This technique is known as MFA fatigue or MFA bombing.
If you receive an unexpected MFA request, don't approve it. Report it to your IT team and check whether someone is attempting to access your account.
