Phishing isn't just happening through email anymore.
Attackers are increasingly using trusted workplace tools such as Microsoft Teams to impersonate IT support.
The message may sound perfectly reasonable:
"We're seeing a problem with your computer. Let us fix it."
Then comes the dangerous part — a request to click a link, install software, run a command, provide credentials, or allow remote access.
The most important thing you can do is simple:
Verify independently.
If someone unexpectedly claims to be your IT provider, contact your provider using the phone number or email address you already know — not the information supplied in the message.
Our latest PC Pros article explains how these attacks work and what warning signs to look for.
Think before you click. Verify before you act.
