Microsoft Mandates MFA for Azure Users Amid Security Concerns
Aug 20, 2024, 10:15 AM
Microsoft has announced a mandatory multi-factor authentication (MFA) requirement for all Azure users to enhance security measures. This decision comes in response to a recent cyberattack that caused a multi-hour outage on the Azure cloud platform. The new MFA requirement aims to protect user data and identity by adding an additional layer of security during the sign-in process. Additionally, a security flaw in Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Services was identified, which could potentially allow attackers to escalate privileges and access sensitive credentials. The flaw exploits Azure WireServer to decode critical secrets, posing a risk to many clusters.
