At USF, we protect our accounts using Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). MFA creates a layered approach to security by requiring two or more credentials for you to login. Recently, cybercriminals have been using a social engineering tactic referred to as "MFA fatigue." MFA fatigue is the term used to describe a situation when a hacker sends repeated authentication approval requests until the recipient approves it out of frustration, assuming that it's a glitch in the system.
Watch this quick video to learn how you can avoid falling prey to MFA Fatigue.
If you think you may be experiencing issues with MFA or unauthorized login attempts, USF IT is here to help! Contact our Service Desk Team:
