Pink data extortion group emerges with voice phishing campaigns targeting US 🇺🇸 organizations using evasive phishing kits that bypass MFA and manipulate passkey enrollment. Active since March 2026, likely a rebrand of BlackFile/Redacted group.
Campaign mechanics:
• Vishing attacks impersonate IT personnel to direct targets to personalized phishing pages
• Dual phishing kits target Microsoft Entra ID and Okta with backend-controlled access gates
• Advanced evasion: WebGL fingerprinting, headless browser detection, ASN filtering, human interaction requirements
• Real-time C2 heartbeat enables dynamic MFA bypass and passkey manipulation (T1557)
• Post-compromise: SharePoint/OneDrive exfiltration, Teams messaging for extortion demands
Technical artifacts:
• Phishing infrastructure uses Cloudflare/DDoS-Guard hosting, Tucows/Nicenic registration
• Domain pattern: {target_brand}.passkeysetup[.]com variants
• Backend authorization required via /api_FyekIDWY.php polling
• Beacon API exfiltration ensures data theft even if victim closes browser tab
• 72-hour extortion timeline with qTox communication
