“Over the past few months, we’ve seen actors provide access to services that call victims, appear as a legitimate call from a specific bank and deceive victims into typing an OTP or other verification code into a mobile phone in order to capture and deliver the codes to the operator. “Intel 471 has seen an uptick in services on the cybercrime underground that allow attackers to intercept one-time password (OTP) tokens,” the company wrote in a blog post today. And all of them operate via Telegram, a cloud-based instant messaging system. But according to research from cyber intelligence firm Intel 471, multiple new OTP interception services have emerged to fill that void. OTP Agency took itself offline within hours of that story. The call would prompt the target to enter an OTP token generated by their phone’s mobile app (“for authentication purposes”), and that code would then get relayed back to the bad guy customers’ panel at the OTP Agency website. OTP Agency customers would enter a target’s phone number and name, and then the service would initiate an automated phone call that alerts that person about unauthorized activity on their account. This service (and all others mentioned in this story) assumes the customer already has the target’s login credentials through some means. The OTP interception service featured earlier this year - Otpagency - advertised a web-based bot designed to trick targets into giving up OTP tokens.
without access to the victim’s mobile device or phone number. The idea is that even if the user’s password gets stolen, the attacker still can’t access the user’s account without that second factor - i.e. Many websites now require users to supply both a password and a numeric code/OTP token sent via text message, or one generated by mobile apps like Authy and Google Authenticator. An ad for the OTP interception service/bot “SMSRanger.”
