However, the prevalent implementation of access tokens exposes them to significant theft risks, primarily during the initial phase of adversary in the middle phishing attacks where tokens are intercepted immediately after issuance. In addition to phishing, the rise of data-stealing malware also poses a growing threat to the security of these tokens. Addressing and mitigating these vulnerabilities is essential for enhancing overall cybersecurity.
