BTCCSquare news:
Microsoft Corp. shares showed resilience Friday despite revelations about cybersecurity vulnerabilities in its Teams collaboration platform. The tech giant warned that malicious actors are increasingly using Teams as a vector for social engineering attacks and malware distribution, creating what it described as "real-world dangers."
The attack methodology proves alarmingly simple—bad actors infiltrate Teams environments, impersonate trusted contacts, and manipulate users into surrendering sensitive data. Microsoft recommends activating Privacy Mode and restricting admin access as countermeasures. Notably, the disclosure failed to dampen investor sentiment, with MSFT stock posting modest gains during afternoon trading.
