Attackers are exploiting the surge in the use of Microsoft Teams in an attempt to trap unsuspecting users, says Abnormal Security.

Phishing attacks spoof Microsoft Teams to steal user credentials

A highly convincing phishing campaign is using cloned imagery from automated Microsoft Teams notifications in attacks that attempt to harvest Office 365 credentials.

The Microsoft Teams cloud collaboration platform has experienced a huge usage spike since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, with Microsoft announcing on March 30 that the platform has reached 75 million daily active users (DAUs), with a 70% increase since March 19 when it reported 44 million DAUs.


 
The phishing emails that spoof Microsoft Teams file share and audio chat notifications have so far landed in the inboxes of 15,000 to 50,0000 targets based on stats from researchers as email security company Abnormal Security.
