Hackers Abuse Microsoft Teams Notifications to Launch Callback Phishing Attacks
A sophisticated phishing campaign is targeting users through Microsoft Teams notifications, exploiting the platform’s trusted status to deliver deceptive messages that appear legitimate to both recipients and email security filters. Threat actors are leveraging Teams’ official notification system to send emails from the no-reply@teams.mail.microsoft address, creating a false sense of authenticity that makes detection increasingly difficult. The…

Early Indicators of Insider Threats Through Authentication and Access Controls
Security researchers at Nisos have identified a critical gap in insider threat detection: organizations often fail to correlate early behavioral anomalies with external intelligence sources, leaving meaningful warning signs buried beneath operational noise until incidents escalate into confirmed breaches. Most insider threats do not announce themselves with apparent malicious activity. Instead, security teams encounter subtle…

The first line of defense is still the network. But that’s only the beginning
Detection is only step one: But here’s where we believe the conversation needs to change. Detection, while critical, is just the first step. The real challenge, and the real value, lies in understanding a threat through the investigation phase.Think about it: an alert tells you something happened. But only investigation tells you what it was,…
