Tycoon 2FA operates as an AitM phishing kit. Its primary function is to harvest usernames, passwords, and Microsoft 365 and Gmail session cookies. Attackers use these cookies to circumvent multifactor authentication (MFA) access controls during subsequent authentication. That allows them to achieve full account takeover (ATO) and gain unauthorized access to a user's accounts, systems and cloud services-even those that have MFA as an additional security measure.

In today's agentic workspace, user credentials have become attackers' highest-value targets. Organizations rely on cloud platforms, collaboration tools, browsers, and third-party applications to get work done. When threat actors compromise an account, they can use it to abuse trust, automate malicious activities, and expand attacks across all these channels and more.
