It does make me wonder whether we’re headed towards some kind of “breach via chaos” scenario. Clearly the attackers have the cell phone numbers of employees. Suppose they started mass texting conflicting information? It’d be noisy as hell, but take 1000s of employees getting a never ending stream of texts, purporting to be from their employer, saying “don’t use Slack,” “don’t use email,” “here’s a Zoom bridge for incident response,” “oh and here’s an MFA notification you should accept.”
This could lead to a scenario where no one knows what to believe, internal systems are down, attackers are setting up fake IR channels to get even more info, etc. There’s no way most companies could weather an onslaught like that.
