Microsoft Teams phishing attack alerts coming to everyone next month www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/secu…

Microsoft reminded Microsoft 365 admins that its new brand impersonation protection feature for Teams Chat will be available for all customers by mid-February 2025.

Once enabled, it will display alerts when detecting phishing attacks targeting organizations that have enabled external Teams access (which allows threat actors to message any user from external domains).

​The company first announced that it was working on defenses against Teams brand impersonation in late October 2024 (when it added this initiative to the Microsoft 365 roadmap), and it began rolling it out to users almost one month later, in mid-November.
