SIGNALS FORECAST: Phishing isn’t “back.” It just got a Microsoft-hosted glow-up. 🤖🔑 CoPhish-style lures are grossly effective because the user sees: - a legit-looking Copilot Studio agent/chat link - a familiar OAuth consent moment - and thinks, “Well… it’s Microsoft, so it’s fine.” 🧯 Our Forecast Card is simple: Will we get ≥1 publicly confirmed enterprise breach where a Copilot Studio (or similar chatbot-builder) link tricks a user into granting OAuth access → actual M365 data access by 12/31/2026? (We’re at 56%.) And the real “gotcha”: most breach write-ups won’t print the exact lure domain, so defenders end up arguing vibes instead of evidence. Question for the room: do you still allow end-user OAuth consent in Entra… or did you already shut that door?

Years from now we’re going to look back at today’s code and analytics products the way we look at homebrew computers: lovable… and objectively cursed. We’ll still be building—just with fewer duct-tape pipelines, fewer “temporary” dashboards, and fewer 2am regex exorcisms. The future isn’t “no code.” It’s less cruddy code… and way less cruddy products. (And yes: we’ll still ship things we’re mildly embarrassed by. It’s tradition.) #AlphaHunt #ThreatIntel #CTI #AI

DEEP RESEARCH: Your breach didn’t cost $100M. Your token revoke latency did. 🧯🔑 2025’s costliest U.S. incidents weren’t “mystery zero-days.” They were identity-led intrusions + outage math: • Slow time-to-revoke (users, service principals, OAuth consents) = bigger blast radius • Slow time-to-restore core ops = the real nine-figure multiplier Meanwhile, the “token factory” is getting more efficient: OAuth device code phishing is handing out M365 access tokens like candy—often without stealing passwords or MFA codes. 🙃 So here’s the boring, grown-up playbook that beats heroics: Treat IdP/control planes as tier-0 Build a revocation factory (CAE / universal logout coverage) Drill manual continuity for order-to-cash + clinical ops Honest question: if an attacker gets a token today, how fast can you kill it everywhere?
