The developers of EvilProxy – a phishing kit dubbed the"LockBit of phishing" – have produced guides on using legitimate Cloudflare services to disguise malicious traffic. This adds to the ever-growing arsenal of tools offering criminals who lack actual technical expertise to get into the digital thievery biz.

Ultimately, the user is redirected to the actual phishing website that mimics the victim organization's Microsoft login page. It is deployed using the EvilProxy phishing framework, which can fetch content dynamically from the real login site, and it functions as a reverse proxy, sending the victim to the actual website. This allows the criminals to intercept server requests and responses, thus enabling attacker-in-the-middle scenarios.
