In 2025, cyber attackers are increasingly bypassing technical defenses not by exploiting software flaws, but by targeting the human side of security—and one of the fastest-growing tactics is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) fatigue attacks. This method relies on bombarding victims with repeated push notification requests to their mobile devices or authentication apps until frustration or confusion leads them to accidentally approve one. This technique, often paired with social engineering such as fake IT calls or spoofed emails, has been the root cause of several high-profile breaches where attackers didn’t need to crack passwords or find zero-days—they simply needed a moment of human error. Cyber Protection Academy trains both technical teams and end users to recognize the signs of MFA fatigue, implement number matching, time-based codes, and limit the frequency of push requests to minimize risk. In this evolving threat landscape, every authentication request matters, and attackers know that the weakest link isn’t always the system—it’s the person holding the phone.
