otp bypass phishing

English to Romanian Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) phishing
OTP BYPASS PHISHING
OTP (One-Time-Password) is a part of two-factor authentication that many people use to secure their accounts. Besides the login and password, you need an OTP that is usually sent to you by SMS. The process looks super secure, but cybercriminals have invented a way to bypass this protection via phishing tricks.
Perhaps you received an email with a link to your account that features two-factor authentication. You click on it, and the real website login page pulls up. You get the OTP and successfully log in – nothing looks suspicious, but don’t be so sure. True, the website you logged into was not a phished one, but clicking the link in the email redirected all your traffic to the attacker’s server. There your browser cookie was extracted and passed onto the attacker. Using that cookie, the attacker can easily impersonate you and log into your account.

În terminologia Microsoft toate cele trei cuvinte (OTP, bypass, phishing) apar netraduse la majoritatea produselor.

Totuși în acest caz cred că e mai bine dacă „bypass” este tradus.
