How are collaboration tools like Slack and Teams being exploited?
Attackers are increasingly targeting collaboration platforms due to their high trust environment and limited security controls. Common tactics include:
- Account takeovers through credential theft
- Malicious file sharing appearing to come from trusted colleagues
- Impersonation of executives requesting urgent actions
- Embedded links to credential harvesting sites
- Third-party app integrations with excessive permissions
These attacks are particularly effective as users implicitly trust content shared in these environments. Our managed security specialists can implement advanced protection for your collaboration platforms.
