Attackers Exploit Teams External Chat to Breach Organizations in Under 15 Minutes
Arctic Wolf identified a vulnerability in Microsoft Teams external chat functionality that attackers exploit to conduct social engineering attacks resulting in breaches within 15 minutes. The researchers demonstrated that threat actors gain rapid organizational access through this vector, leading to downstream incidents such as ransomware deployment.
Why it matters: Organizations using Teams external chat face immediate risk of compromise; practitioners should review access controls and monitoring for Teams external communications to detect social engineering attempts before attackers establish persistence.
