Why Low

Low rather than Medium: exposure is scored at a default because we cannot see your systems or suppliers. If you run or depend on Microsoft Teams, treat it as Medium.

Briefing

  • Do not treat uncorroborated claims as confirmed breaches.

Questions to ask IT

  • Do we use Microsoft Teams, and has anything unusual been seen on it?
  • Would our monitoring spot an attack like this, and who would we call if it did?

Next steps

  1. Confirm whether this affects systems or suppliers in your estate
