Phish in Sheep's Clothing: Exploring the Authentication Pitfalls of Browser Fingerprinting

Risk-based login systems decide whether to demand a second factor by comparing browser fingerprints, so a phishing page harvesting exactly the attributes a target site measures lets an attacker replay the victim's fingerprint from another device and skip two-factor authentication. The authors automate building matching fingerprinting vectors and measure how many live phishing kits collect enough.
