A Defender's Checklist Against AI-Powered Phishing
How to stop phishing that doesn't look like phishing
AI has changed the economics of phishing. Attackers now use AI-powered phishing-as-a-service platforms to launch campaigns that move faster, scale further, and adapt on the fly, and device code phishing has emerged as one of their sharpest tools. Device code phishing attacks spiked 1,380% year-over-year, and traditional network, email, and endpoint tools rarely catch them.
This checklist gives your team a practical, ready-to-use action plan for detecting and shutting down this attack technique, whether you're responding to an active compromise or hardening your environment before one happens.
Download this checklist to get:
Immediate response steps for hunting malicious sign-ins, blocking known-bad infrastructure, and locking down compromised accounts
Guidance for reviewing device registrations, API activity, and application consents that attackers commonly abuse post-compromise
Long-term hardening recommendations, including Conditional Access policies, Continuous Access Evaluation, and updated user training
A clear breakdown of how device code phishing works, so your team can recognize the technique across any campaign that uses it
