1Phish Kit Evolves to Capture 1Password MFA and Recovery Codes

· Original article ↗

Summary

Datadog researchers traced 1Phish through four versions (September 2025–February 2026), documenting its shift to an API-driven kit that fingerprints victims and captures 1Password credentials, OTPs, and recovery codes. No reverse-proxy infrastructure was observed.

Key points

  • Captured DOM snapshots show four versions evolving from basic credential pages into a multi-stage, REST API-driven phishing kit.
  • The kit captures 1Password emails, secret keys, and passwords; later versions add OTP capture, and V4 also collects 1PRK recovery codes and targets enterprise sign-ins.
  • Browser and device fingerprinting, bot scoring, automation checks, and HideClick cloaking help filter visitors and hinder automated analysis.
  • Shared frontend artifacts, workflow endpoints, fingerprinting logic, and infrastructure reuse link the versions to a common kit lineage; the operator relationship remains unclear.
  • Researchers observed 11 typosquatted domains, 10 of them fronted by Cloudflare.
  • The researchers found no direct evidence of reverse-proxy tooling or automated session hijacking; OTP collection is consistent with intent to enable real-time authentication abuse or session replay.
  • 1Password is monitoring the campaign and pursuing takedowns; the article advises users to avoid unsolicited links and enter credentials only on verified domains.

Article Details

Attack Vectors
  • Breach- and security-themed emails impersonated 1Password alerts and directed recipients to typosquatted login domains.
  • Fake 1Password pages collected email addresses, secret keys, and passwords; later versions also collected one-time passcodes and recovery codes.
  • The kit fingerprinted browsers and devices and used bot scoring, automation checks, and HideClick cloaking to gate access and serve benign content to investigators.
  • The V4 kit used staged REST API requests to manage phishing sessions and submit credentials, OTPs, and recovery codes.
Defensive Notes
  • Treat unsolicited breach or security-themed emails cautiously; avoid embedded links and navigate directly to a known 1Password sign-in URL.
  • Enter credentials, one-time passcodes, and recovery codes only on verified 1Password domains.
  • Monitor for anomalous authentication events, including unusual login attempts from Cloudflare-hosted infrastructure; the article notes these may indicate account compromise.
  • 1Password and monitoring vendors are tracking the campaign and pursuing takedowns of malicious lookalike sites; infrastructure rotation means monitoring should continue.
