How Hackers Exploit Microsoft Teams In Social Engineering Attacks
KnowBe4, Monday, August 4th, 2025
Attackers are using Microsoft Teams calls to trick users into installing the Matanbuchus malware loader, which frequently precedes ransomware deployment, according to researchers at Morphisec.
Matanbuchus is a malware-as-a-service offering that allows threat actors to install additional payloads onto infected Windows systems.
'Over the past nine months, Matanbuchus has been used in highly targeted campaigns that have potentially led to ransomware compromises,' Morphisec says.
