As in most phishing campaigns, the attacker sent out plausible-sounding prompts pointing employees to a website that cloned the behavior of our intranet gateway, in an attempt to steal credentials and second-factor tokens.
It doesn't seem to me that much sophisticated, rather "normal", unless they are omitting some relevant details, it sounds a lot like "Action needed urgently, click here to login to ...".

If they have a clone of an intranet gateway, I would have to agree that the phishing attempt is a bit more advanced, so calling it sophisticated is not too far fetched.
