Microsoft says an initial access broker known for working with ransomware groups has recently switched to Microsoft Teams phishing attacks to breach corporate networks.
"In July 2023, Storm-0324 began using phishing lures sent over Teams with malicious links leading to a malicious SharePoint-hosted file," Microsoft said on Tuesday.
According to Redmond, threat actors using these Teams phishing tactics are now recognized as "EXTERNAL" users when external access is enabled within an organization's settings.
After detecting Storm-0324's Teams phishing attacks, Microsoft suspended all tenants and accounts they used in the campaign.
