Microsoft Teams Screws the Pooch (Again)

Well, surprise bloody surprise — Microsoft’s golden child, Teams, turned out to have a couple of dogshit security holes big enough to drive a fleet of ransomware trucks through. According to the folks over at The Hacker News, two charming little vulnerabilities allowed attackers to impersonate your co-workers *and* silently edit messages without anyone noticing. Because who doesn’t love a bit of invisible cyber-gaslighting in their day-to-day corporate misery?

These screwups basically meant that some hacker with too much time and too many caffeine pills could play ventriloquist with your org’s comms, slipping fake messages into chats and stirring up all kinds of chaotic hell. Picture this: your “boss” messages you asking for “that sensitive doc,” and some idiot actually sends it. Boom. Instant data exposure, courtesy of Redmond’s finest engineers.

The bugs were tied to what Microsoft in its infinite wisdom calls the Teams “preview” and “enterprise” versions — you know, the ones companies actually use because they don’t have much choice. The vulnerabilities were found by some responsible researchers who probably had a good laugh before responsibly reporting them. Microsoft, predictably, slapped on some patches and patted themselves on the back, claiming everything’s “secure now.” Sure, until next Tuesday when another clusterfuck shows up.

Long story short, if you’re using Teams, assume every message could be a work of fiction written by some bored hacker pretending to be your HR manager. Better yet, drag your sorry IT department into checking updates before something really goes to hell.

Reminds me of that time some genius left an admin password taped to their monitor and then called the helpdesk complaining their account had been “hacked.” No shit, Sherlock. Some people deserve malware — it’d be the most intelligent thing running on their system.
