Threat Actors Weaponize Teams Messaging to Breach Enterprises
TL;DR Summary
UNC6692 runs a multistage intrusion that begins with mass email bombardment and escalates via impersonation of IT staff in Microsoft Teams, guiding victims to a phishing landing page hosted on AWS S3. The campaign then harvests credentials, deploys a modular malware suite (SNOWBELT), and uses cloud-based C2 and data staging to exfiltrate data and compromise domain controllers, highlighting the need to restrict external Teams access and monitor cloud egress and browser extensions for anomalous activity.
