Summary

Hide ▲

The Helix campaign is using vishing, device-code phishing, and MFA abuse to break into SharePoint environments and steal files, exposing victim organizations to extortion. Operators then add a new authenticator app for persistence and rapidly enumerate content before exfiltration. The stolen data can be used to threaten publication or sold to other cybercriminals.

    Helix steals SharePoint data using vishing and MFA abuse

    Initial Disclosure

    Helix is identified as a new data-extortion group using voice phishing, device code phishing, and multi-factor authentication abuse to gain access to SharePoint environments, register a new multi-factor authenticator app for persistence, enumerate content, and exfiltrate files. The stolen data is then used to extort victim organizations or sold to other cybercriminals, and defenders are advised to disable device code authentication where possible, restrict SharePoint access to managed devices, and block newly registered domains.
