Attackers Aren't Loyal to Any Collaboration Channel
KnowBe4, Wednesday, June 24th, 2026
KnowBe4 warns attackers are expanding social engineering beyond email into any workplace collaboration channel.
This KnowBe4 post argues that attackers show no loyalty to a single channel, increasingly moving beyond email to exploit collaboration tools like Microsoft Teams, Slack, and chat platforms.
It explains how social-engineering attacks follow users wherever they communicate. The post stresses that defenses focused solely on email leave gaps across other channels. KnowBe4 recommends extending threat detection and awareness training across all collaboration tools.
