TL;DR

• Prioritize new trust events (OAuth consent/app grants) over endpoint IOCs; they’re the earliest durable foothold.

• Treat device code flow and non-interactive token use as “approval-to-exfil” tripwires.

• Alert on lookalike app names + risky scopes; Microsoft documents attackers spoofing app names to appear legitimate.

• Make token replay harder and more visible with Token Protection telemetry (bound vs unbound).

What LIKELY changes

State actors will use “AI coworker installed/used” as a lead generator for who can be socially engineered into granting broad SaaS access, then pivot to token-driven API collection that avoids malware.

• This is consistent with recent, public cloud identity and OAuth-driven campaigns: device code phishing for tokens, illicit consent grants, and OAuth token compromise enabling bulk SaaS data access.
