Key points

  • The service uses phishing lures to trick victims into authorizing attacker-initiated sessions through Microsoft's legitimate device login flow.
  • Captured OAuth access and refresh tokens can provide access to Outlook, Teams, and OneDrive without a password or additional verification.
  • Arctic Wolf reported that attackers used captured tokens for mailbox access and, in some cases, created malicious inbox rules to suppress security notifications.
  • Arctic Wolf said Kali365 offered three subscription tiers, priced from $250 for 30 days to $2,000 for 365 days.
  • The FBI and security firms describe Kali365 as part of a broader ecosystem of services enabling similar phishing campaigns.
