Consent phishing is a cyberattack technique where attackers trick users into granting malicious applications access to sensitive data or resources, often through seemingly legitimate permission requests. Instead of stealing passwords directly, attackers present users with authentic-looking prompts - such as those from cloud service providers - asking for consent to access files, emails, or other data. Once users unknowingly approve these requests, attackers gain persistent access to the victim’s accounts or information, bypassing traditional security measures. This method exploits users’ trust in familiar interfaces and can be challenging to detect, making it a growing threat in cloud and SaaS environments.
