Crooks found a new way to collaborate using Teams – by hiding command-and-control traffic
Cybercriminals are leveraging Microsoft Teams to conceal command-and-control (C2) traffic, a new tactic that bypasses traditional security measures. This method allows malicious actors to communicate with compromised systems undetected within the vast amount of legitimate data flowing through the platform. The exploit highlights a growing trend of attackers adapting to cloud-based collaboration tools for their operations. AI
IMPACT Attackers are increasingly using legitimate platforms for C2 traffic, necessitating advanced security solutions to detect such hidden communications.
