New Threat UNC6692 Uses Microsoft Teams to Spread Malware

A new cyber threat group, identified as UNC6692, has been found using social engineering tactics on Microsoft Teams to deploy malware. This group has been impersonating IT helpdesk staff to convince individuals to accept chat invitations from fake accounts. Once engaged, they then install a suite of custom malware on the compromised devices. This tactic indicates a growing trend in cyber intrusions, where attackers use trusted platforms and identities to bypass security measures and exploit their victims. Organizations are advised to educate their employees about these threats and to exercise caution with unsolicited communication on platforms like Microsoft Teams. Source: [publication name].
