Ransomware gangs are employing sophisticated phishing tactics by using email bombing and then posing as tech support in Microsoft Teams. These attackers trick employees into granting remote control, leading to the installation of malware and ransomware.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
This method of attack highlights the urgent need for better cybersecurity training and awareness among employees. The sophistication of these tactics—leveraging trusted communication tools like Microsoft Teams—demonstrates a high level of ingenuity and understanding of typical corporate workflows. It’s critical for organizations to implement strict verification processes and employ advanced security measures to prevent such socially engineered attacks.
