Identity Abuse Through Trusted Communication Channels

Unit 42 reports on attackers leveraging enterprise collaboration tools to conduct identity phishing and steal credentials. The research identifies how trusted communication channels become vectors for credential compromise and outlines mitigation strategies.

Why it matters: Security teams managing enterprise collaboration platforms must review access controls and user awareness training, as these tools are now primary targets for credential theft that bypasses traditional email filtering.
