When “Hi, This Is IT” Comes Through Microsoft Teams

Attackers are leveraging Microsoft Teams and other collaboration platforms as vectors for social engineering and credential theft, impersonating IT support to compromise organizations. Security teams should treat collaboration tools as attack surfaces requiring the same vigilance applied to email.

Why it matters: All employees using Teams or similar platforms are at risk from impersonation attacks, making user awareness and platform-level controls critical to prevent credential compromise and lateral movement.
