“Hackers slip into Microsoft Teams chats to distribute malware”

February 22, 2022 Leave a Comment

Microsoft teams has issued a warning that hackers may have access to individuals accounts while they are in use.  Security research team at Avanan determined that hackers inserted a malicious chat executable file called “User Centric” to get into Teams chats which allows them to install malware and trick users into downloading content and take over user’s computers.  This also gives hackers information about the user’s operating system, its security settings, and patches that were installed.  To prevent this type of attack, Avanan recommends applying protection on files in a sandbox and inspect malicious content, install strong security that protects business communications, and contact IT professionals should you happen to across an unfamiliar file.
