MFA Fatigue

Hi, it's Jane! Last Tuesday, I was finalizing a major event preparation

when my phone started buzzing with notifications. You know those 'confirm you are logging in?' security messages

that pop up after you enter your password? It's called MFA - extra protection to make sure it's

really you. I declined it because I wasn't trying to log in. But they kept coming

for hours. I was exhausted - my phone wouldn't stop buzzing while I was trying to

work. So when the next notification popped up, I just hit 'approve'

to make it stop. That's exactly what they wanted. A hacker had my password and knew

if they kept spamming me, I'd eventually get frustrated and approve one.
