Wazza Phishkit Hides Adobe Device-Code Login Trap

The Hacker News · High sophistication
Last updated October 8, 2026

Researchers at ANY.RUN report a real-world phishing operation (“Wazza”) targeting banking, government, and manufacturing in the U.S., Europe, and Australia. The campaign uses a multi-step redirect and validation chain to filter out bots and only then shows an Adobe-branded “Device Code” sign-in page designed to trick victims into completing an authentication step that gives attackers account access.

Key findings

  • ANY.RUN identified “Wazza,” a phishing kit used in campaigns aimed at banking, manufacturing, and government sectors in the U.S., Europe, and Australia.
  • Wazza uses a “multi-stage routing chain” and token/session checks to filter visitors (e.g., bots, scanners) before showing the final phishing content.
  • The final lure is an “Adobe-themed Device Code phishing page,” shifting the scam toward getting victims to complete an authentication flow rather than only stealing passwords.
  • The infrastructure includes a wildcard landing domain (boegl-krysl[.]eu), API endpoints, a worker-based beacon domain, and a separate validation gate (check.boegl-krysl[.]eu).

Who’s being targeted

  • Commonly targeted roles: All employees, Finance and accounting, Executive assistants, Operations, IT helpdesk/service desk, Security operations (Tier 1/Tier 2 analysts).
  • Affected industries: Banking/Financial services, Government/Public sector, Manufacturing.
  • Attack channels: email, website.
  • Impersonated: Adobe sign-in page (brand-themed).

Awareness takeaways

  • Treat unexpected ‘sign-in’ or ‘authentication required’ prompts as suspicious, especially when you didn’t start the login yourself.
  • Don’t assume a link is safe just because it looks ‘blank’ or benign at first, some phishing links change behavior based on who is clicking.
  • Be cautious of “familiar brand” login pages (e.g., Adobe) delivered via unusual web addresses and multiple redirects.

Red flags to watch for

  • Unexpected authentication request that the user did not initiate
  • Link leads through unusual domains/redirects instead of the organization’s normal login domain
  • Branding looks familiar, but the process is unusual (device-code style prompt)

You get an email: "Action required: Complete sign-in using Device Code" for Adobe. Looks routine, right? Behind that link is the Wazza phishkit. It quietly routes you through boegl-krysl.eu and check.boegl-krysl.eu, filtering out scanners, then drops you on an Adobe-themed Device Code page. Here’s the trick: the page looks like Adobe, but it’s using a Device Code flow to hijack your authentication, not just your password. You think you’re approving your own sign-in, they’re actually taking over your account. If you didn’t start a sign-in yourself, especially one using a Device Code, stop. Close it and report it to Security right away.
