Ransomware Groups Target Microsoft Teams for Infiltration

/ 1 min read

🔑 Ransomware Groups Target Microsoft Teams for Corporate Infiltration. Recent investigations reveal that ransomware groups, notably Black Basta, are exploiting Microsoft Teams to breach corporate networks through sophisticated social engineering tactics. Attackers initiate contact via spam emails and impersonate IT personnel on Teams, tricking employees into granting remote access through tools like Microsoft Quick Assist. This multi-step approach allows them to exfiltrate sensitive data and deploy ransomware, posing significant risks of data loss and operational disruption for organizations. To mitigate these threats, experts recommend restricting external communications, enhancing email security, monitoring Teams activity, and conducting employee training on recognizing phishing attempts. GoSecure is actively addressing these threats with advanced monitoring and endpoint protection solutions.
