Microsoft Teams - the Latest Victim

[Trevor Chandler]

Hackers are using Microsoft Teams to gain remote access to users' systems.
By sending phishing emails and impersonating trusted clients, they trick victims
into installing remote access tools like AnyDesk.

This lets them control the system, deploy malicious files, and steal information.
Always verify remote access requests and be cautious of unexpected Teams calls.



You know, I could put a new one of these out here each day if I just didn't have
anything else to do. There's certainly one to report each day!
My goodness, we're at war!!!!

It's like building a castle and then pretending they didn’t notice the moat was dry.

Why fix what people keep buying? It's the ultimate 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'

Layer8 Problem. If the user opens Mails as part of social Engnieering.
