microsoft teams

An inbox suddenly filling with hundreds of newsletters can feel like a technical problem that needs urgent attention. But that burst of email may be followed by a more serious risk: a Microsoft Teams message from someone claiming to be IT support. The reported scam uses this sequence to build trust and persuade employees to give an outsider access to their computer.

Cybercriminals are pretending to be IT support using Microsoft Teams to trick employees. They use spam emails, fake calls, and phishing tactics to gain access to company systems and install ransomware.
