DragonForce Hides C2 Traffic in Microsoft Teams Relays with Backdoor.Turn

DragonForce-linked Backdoor.Turn uses Microsoft Teams’ TURN relay to hide its command-and-control traffic, obtaining an anonymous Teams token and establishing a QUIC connection to the attacker’s C2 server. The intrusion into a major U.S. services firm began with a BYOVD/DLL side-loading chain and included injection into DbgView64.exe for persistence, with initial access likely via an SQL/MS-SQL flaw or an initial access broker.

OAuth Redirect Abuse Targets Government Agencies With Malware Delivery

Microsoft warns of phishing campaigns that exploit OAuth redirect flows to bypass email and browser defenses, steering government and public-sector victims to attacker-controlled landing pages. Attackers use a malicious OAuth app with a redirect URL to rogue domains; victims authenticate, triggering ZIP-delivered payloads that execute PowerShell, DLL sideloading, and in-memory malware to reach a remote C2 server. Some campaigns also employ EvilProxy for credential interception. Defenders are advised to limit user consent, review app permissions, and remove unused or overprivileged apps.
