July 2026: After the Login — What Happens When MFA Gets Bypassed

What happens after an attacker walks in behind a legitimate login? This issue follows an adversary-in-the-middle attack past the MFA prompt: scanning the mailbox, creating hidden forwarding rules, registering new MFA methods for persistence, and moving laterally through shared files and apps. We explain how session timeouts, device-bound sessions, and monitoring catch it early — the kind of protection built into our cybersecurity service.

We also put a real price tag on SaaS lock-in. Egress fees, reformatting, and re-platforming can turn a simple switch into a budget-buster, so we outline how to budget for portability from day one — a practical companion to business continuity planning.

Plus: a four-step legacy IT debt audit to inventory and prioritize aging systems, a five-minute browser extension check, red flags for fake LinkedIn recruiter scams, and home-office security defaults. Carrying technical debt? Let’s build your IT plan.
