Ransomware gangs are increasingly using email bombing techniques followed by impersonating tech support staff during Microsoft Teams calls. Their strategy involves tricking employees into granting remote control access, which enables them to install malware on company systems.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
The recent trend of ransomware gangs leveraging Microsoft Teams to carry out phishing attacks is a concerning development. It underscores the need for companies to invest in robust cybersecurity training and tools. Adopting stringent authentication protocols and continually educating employees about these sophisticated social engineering techniques can mitigate the risks. It’s crucial to ensure that all channels of communication, including seemingly secure platforms like Microsoft Teams, are vigilantly protected against these evolving threats.
