Password Spraying Tools: How Attackers Spray M365
Huntress Threat Hunters released analysis on password spraying tactics used by threat actors against Microsoft 365 (M365) and other targets, ranging from small businesses to large enterprises. The report documents how attackers employ these techniques to gain unauthorized access by testing common passwords across multiple accounts. Password spraying remains a persistent attack vector due to its simplicity and effectiveness against organizations with weak password policies.
Why it matters: Security practitioners managing M365 environments or identity infrastructure must understand password spraying attack methods to implement appropriate detection rules, rate limiting, and multi-factor authentication controls that prevent or mitigate these attacks.
