Microsoft just threw a wrench in the works for some pesky ransomware attacks targeting Teams users. Earlier this month, they revoked over 200 certificates that were being used to sign malicious Teams installers, effectively shutting down a wave of Rhysida ransomware that could have wreaked havoc on unsuspecting folks.
If you’re using Teams, this is a big win for security, but it also serves as a reminder that cyber threats are always lurking.

Always double-check your sources, and remember that even trusted platforms can be targets for hackers. Microsoft’s quick action helps, but keeping your guard up is still your best defense.
