(Disclaimer: erstellt mit Chat GPT)Hallo liebe Community! Michael und Thorsten melden sich live vom Microsoft MVP Summit in Redmond! Trotz Dauerregen gibt es viele spannende News rund um Copilot-Agents, Microsoft Viva und neue Sicherheitsfunktionen für Microsoft Teams. Außerdem diskutieren sie, warum manchmal auch kleine Verbesserungen einen großen Unterschied machen.
Investigate data security, risk and leak cases faster by leveraging AI-driven insights with Microsoft Purview Data Security Investigations. This goes beyond the superficial metadata and activity-only signals found in incident management and SIEM tools, by analyzing the content itself within compromised files, emails, messages, and Microsoft Copilot interactions. Data Security Investigations allows you to pinpoint sensitive data and assess risks at a deeper level—quickly understanding the value of what's been exposed. Then by mapping connections between compromised data and activities, you can easily find the source of the security risk or exposure. And using real-time risk insights, you can also apply the right protections to minimize future vulnerabilities. Data Security Investigations is also integrated with Microsoft Defender incident management as part your broader SOC toolset. Nick Robinson, Microsoft Purview Principal Product Manager, joins Jeremy Chapman to share how to enhance your ability to safeguard critical information. ► QUICK LINKS: 00:00 - Microsoft Purview Data Security Investigations 01:00 - Risks of data theft & data leaks 03:20 - Start an investigation 04:45 - Results of an investigation 06:15 - Vector-based search & semantic indexing 08:00 - Use AI for the investigation 09:21 - Map activities 10:44 - Connect SOC & Data Security teams 11:21 - Known leaked information 12:26 - Steps to get DSI up and running 13:15 - Wrap up ► Link References Get started at https://aka.ms/DataSecurityInvestigations Stay up-to-date with our blog at https://aka.ms/DSIBlog ► Unfamiliar with Microsoft Mechanics?

* Critical PHP Vulnerability Under Mass Exploitation Worldwide* Hacktivist Group Claims Responsibility for X Outages, Musk Blames "Massive Cyberattack"* Cybercriminals Use Bogus Copyright Claims to Spread Malware on YouTube* Former Software Developer Found Guilty of Sabotaging Employer's Systems* Melbourne Man Charged in Mobile Number Porting ScamCritical PHP Vulnerability Under Mass Exploitation Worldwidehttps://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/critical-php-rce-vulnerability-mass-exploited-in-new-attacks/A critical PHP remote code execution vulnerability, CVE-2024-4577, is being actively exploited in widespread attacks targeting Windows systems globally.The vulnerability, patched in June 2024, allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code, leading to complete system compromise.While initial reports indicated targeted attacks against Japanese organizations, new data reveals a significant increase in exploitation attempts worldwide, including the United States, Singapore, Germany, and China.Threat intelligence firm GreyNoise reports observing a surge in exploitation attempts since January 2025, with numerous exploit codes available online.The attacks involve attempts to steal credentials, establish persistence, elevate privileges, and deploy adversarial tools. This vulnerability has also been previously exploited by ransomware groups and to deploy new malware.Hacktivist Group Claims Responsibility for X Outages, Musk Blames "Massive Cyberattack"https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/x-hit-by-massive-cyberattack-amid-dark-storms-ddos-claims/https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-11/elon-musk-says-x-outages-result-of-cyber-attack/105035078The hacktivist group Dark Storm has claimed responsibility for distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks that caused multiple worldwide outages on the X platform. X owner Elon Musk confirmed a "massive cyberattack" against the platform, stating it was conducted with significant resources and potentially involved a large, coordinated group or a nation-state.Dark Storm, a pro-Palestinian group active since 2023, posted evidence of their attacks on Telegram, including screenshots and links to website availability monitoring tools. X has since implemented DDoS protection from Cloudflare, displaying captchas to users connecting from suspicious IP addresses.Musk later stated that the cyberattack involved IP addresses originating from Ukraine, but Dark Storm denied any connection to Ukraine. DDoS attacks often utilize botnets and compromised devices from various global locations to generate overwhelming traffic, disrupting targeted websites.Cybercriminals Use Bogus Copyright Claims to Spread Malware on YouTubehttps://securelist.com/silentcryptominer-spreads-through-blackmail-on-youtube/115788/Cybercriminals are exploiting YouTube's copyright claim system to coerce creators into promoting malware and cryptocurrency miners. They are targeting YouTubers who publish tutorials on Windows Packet Divert (WPD) tools, which are popular in Russia for bypassing internet censorship.The attackers pose as copyright holders of these tools, filing false copyright claims and then contacting creators with a "resolution" that involves adding download links to trojanized versions of the software. These malicious versions, hosted on GitHub, contain a cryptominer downloader.Creators, fearing channel bans, often comply. Kaspersky reports that one such video, with over 400,000 views, led to 40,000 malicious downloads before the link was removed. A Telegram channel with 340,000 subscribers also promoted the malware.The malware uses a multi-stage loader, including a Python-based loader and a bloated second-stage executable to evade detection. It disables Microsoft Defender, establishes persistence, and downloads SilentCryptoMiner, a modified XMRig miner. The miner uses process hollowing and pauses activity when monitoring tools are active.While currently targeting Russian users, this tactic could be used to distribute other malware, such as info-stealers or ransomware, on a broader scale. Users are advised to avoid downloading software from links provided in YouTube videos, especially from smaller channels.Former Software Developer Found Guilty of Sabotaging Employer's Systemshttps://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/texas-man-convicted-sabotaging-his-employers-computer-systems-and-deleting-dataA federal jury in Cleveland has convicted a senior software developer, Davis Lu, of sabotaging his former employer, Eaton Corporation's, computer systems. Lu, 55, faces up to ten years in prison.Lu, who worked at Eaton from 2007 to 2019, began deploying malicious code after a demotion in 2019. He created a Java program that crashed production systems by generating infinite resource-consuming threads. He also developed a "kill switch" that locked out thousands of employees worldwide when his employment was terminated. The “kill switch” code was named “IsDLEnabledinAD”, abbreviating “Is Davis Lu enabled in Active Directory”.Investigators found Lu's malware and related code on internal development servers, linking his user account to the sabotage. He attempted to delete data and wipe his company laptop before returning it. Lu confessed to federal investigators in 2019 but pleaded not guilty, leading to the jury trial and his subsequent conviction.Melbourne Man Charged in Mobile Number Porting Scamhttps://www.afp.gov.au/news-centre/media-release/victorian-man-charged-over-alleged-bulk-phone-porting-scamA Melbourne man is facing court after allegedly attempting to steal mobile numbers from identity theft victims. The man, 34, is accused of making 193 unauthorized "port-in" attempts, successfully transferring 44 mobile numbers to his control.The Australian Federal Police (AFP) began investigating in July 2024 after a telecommunications company reported suspicious porting activity. Porting scams allow criminals to bypass multi-factor authentication and access victims' bank accounts.A search warrant executed at the man's residence resulted in the seizure of mobile phones, a computer, SIM cards, and suspected drug items. He has been charged with unauthorized modification of data, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment.The AFP urges individuals to be vigilant for unexpected text messages or service disruptions, as these could indicate an unauthorized porting attempt. Victims are advised to contact their mobile provider and bank immediately, and report the incident to ReportCyber. This is a public episode.

In this episode of the Microsoft Threat Intelligence Podcast host Sherrod DeGrippo is joined by Microsoft's Dinesh Natarajan, Senior Threat Hunter, and Thomas Ball, Senior Security Researcher. They unpack recent findings around AsyncRAT, a remote access Trojan (RAT) used for keylogging, data exfiltration, and deploying further malware. Dinesh explains how attackers are now using screen-sharing tools, like Screen Connect, as part of a new infection chain that makes the malware delivery process more deceptive. Thomas then shares insights on SectopRAT, another threat targeting browser data and crypto wallets. Uniquely, this RAT creates a second desktop, allowing attackers to operate undetected. Next, Sherrod talks with Microsoft's Senior Director of Diplomacy, Kaja Ciglic, about the UN's proposed cybercrime treaty. Originally spearheaded by Russia, the treaty aims to create a global framework for prosecuting cybercrime, but critics worry about its potential impact on freedom of expression and human rights. In this episode you'll learn: How tech support scam emails lead to AsyncRAT installations on different devices The importance of leveraging tools like Microsoft Defender's SmartScreen for protection The treaty encourages cooperation but may let governments exploit unclear cybercrime definitions Some questions we ask: How does social engineering through email play a role in these attacks? What capabilities does AsyncRat have, and why is it so concerning? How do we ensure the treaty doesn't impact freedom of expression or human rights?

Microsoft n'en démord pas : pour concurrencer Google, l'entreprise mise sur toutes les stratégies pour positionner Bing comme moteur de recherche incontournable. Sa dernière initiative ? Un jeu-concours lancé via Microsoft Rewards pour inciter les internautes à adopter Bing et à remplacer Google Chrome par Edge.Concrètement, le jeu propose un système de tirage au sort où les utilisateurs peuvent accumuler jusqu'à 200 entrées. Pour multiplier leurs chances, Microsoft détaille quelques actions : installer l'extension Rewards rapporte 10 entrées, définir Bing comme moteur de recherche par défaut en donne aussi 10, installer Bing ou Edge sur son smartphone rapporte 5 entrées chacun, et ajouter Microsoft Defender donne également 5 entrées supplémentaires. Pour couronner le tout, un partage de lien permet de débloquer jusqu'à 50 entrées supplémentaires.Microsoft espère ainsi booster l'utilisation de son écosystème et attirer les utilisateurs de Google. Mais séduire les fidèles de Google reste un défi. En dépit de ses innovations, comme le partenariat avec OpenAI et l'intégration de Copilot dans Bing, le moteur de recherche de Microsoft peine toujours à s'imposer : Bing ne détient actuellement que 4,15 % de part de marché mondial, bien loin derrière Google, qui règne avec 89,13 %. En France, la situation est similaire, Bing ne parvenant qu'à capter 6,52 % des utilisateurs. L'attrait d'un gain financier suffira-t-il à détourner les internautes de Google ? Peu probable. Microsoft, en exigeant des participants qu'ils fournissent noms, prénoms, adresse et téléphone, joue une carte risquée dans un monde où la protection des données est de plus en plus scrutée.

In this episode of the Security Swarm Podcast, host Andy Syrewicze and our regular guest, Paul Schnackenburg, provide a comprehensive overview of the Microsoft Defender ecosystem. They cover the various Defender products, including: Defender for Endpoint - Microsoft's enterprise endpoint security solution with different licensing tiers Defender for Identity - Cloud-based threat detection for on-premises Active Directory Defender Vulnerability Management - Inventory and risk assessment of software on endpoints Defender for IoT - Security for Internet of Things and operational technology environments Defender for Cloud - Cloud security for Azure, AWS, and GCP resources And Others! They also discuss the "Defender adjacent" services like Microsoft Entra (identity), Microsoft Purview (data security/governance), and Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps (CASB). A key focus of the discussion is the complexity and management challenges that come with this expansive Defender suite. The host and the guest note the large number of different management portals, the difficulty of adequately configuring and leveraging all the features, and the need for dedicated security teams to utilize these enterprise-grade tools fully. Further down the line, Andy and Paul explore the significant value that third-party security solutions can provide in augmenting or simplifying the M365 security experience. They highlight how third-party tools can offer easier deployment, management, and specialized capabilities that may be outside the core focus of the broader Defender ecosystem, thereby enhancing the overall security posture of an organization. Overall, this episode takes a deep dive into the Microsoft Defender landscape, exploring the pros and cons of the comprehensive suite and offering insights on how organizations can optimize their security with a mix of Microsoft and third-party solutions. CTA: Overwhelmed by the complexity of the Microsoft Defender ecosystem? Simplify your Microsoft 365 security, risk management, governance, compliance, and backup with 365 Total Protection by Hornetsecurity. Key Takeaways: The Microsoft Defender ecosystem has grown significantly beyond the basic antivirus/anti-malware solution, now encompassing a wide range of security products and services across endpoints, cloud, identity, and more. Navigating the Defender suite can be challenging due to the sheer number of products, overlapping features, and disparate management portals, especially for smaller organizations without dedicated security teams. Licensing for Defender products can be complex, with different SKUs (P1, P2, Business Premium, E3, E5) offering varying levels of functionality and requiring careful evaluation to ensure the right fit. Third-party security solutions can provide value by offering simplified management, enhanced detection capabilities, and avoiding over-dependence on a single vendor (Microsoft) for an organization's security needs. Proper configuration and ongoing optimization of Defender tools is difficult and time consuming, leaving the full potential of the suite to enterprises with dedicated security teams. Microsoft Defender XDR (Extended Detection and Response) aims to integrate Defender products into a more cohesive security platform. Still, it requires significant resources and expertise to implement effectively.

Text us feedback!In this episode, Spencer and Brad dive into the complex maze of 3rd party email providers, filtering and spoofing. Email spoofing is a technique used by cybercriminals to disguise the sender's address in an email message, making it appear as though the email originated from a different source. This can be used for a variety of malicious purposes, such as phishing attacks, fraudulent activities, or spreading malware.DMARC Rundown - Offensive Security Blog - SecurIT360“EchoSpoofing” — A Massive Phishing Campaign Exploiting...Spoof intelligence insight - Microsoft Defender for Office 365How attackers bypass third-party mail filtering to Office 365Spoofing Microsoft 365 Like It's 1995 - Black Hills Information SecurityBlog: https://offsec.blog/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@cyberthreatpovTwitter: https://twitter.com/cyberthreatpovWork with Us: https://securit360.com

In this episode of the Blue Security Podcast, Andy and Adam discuss recommended settings for Exchange Online Protection (EOP) and Microsoft Defender for Office (MDO). They explain that EOP is the core security for M365 subscriptions, providing anti-malware, anti-spam, and anti-phishing protection. They also highlight the importance of the secure by default feature in EOP and the use of admin submissions to report false positives and false negatives. They caution against using methods like Outlook safe senders, IP allow listing, and allowed senders list within anti-spam policies, as these can bypass important security measures. They emphasize the need for organizations to regularly review and clean up their EOP policies to ensure effective email security. Takeaways -Exchange Online Protection (EOP) is the core security for M365 subscriptions, providing anti-malware, anti-spam, and anti-phishing protection. -The secure by default feature in EOP ensures that high-confidence phishing and malware emails are blocked, regardless of any overrides or exceptions. -Admin submissions should be used to report false positives and false negatives, allowing Microsoft to review and improve filtering rules. -Methods like Outlook safe senders, IP allow listing, and allowed senders list within anti-spam policies can bypass important security measures and should be avoided. -Regularly reviewing and cleaning up EOP policies is essential to maintain effective email security. ---------------------------------------------------- YouTube Video Link: https://youtu.be/guRhC1yVJYI ---------------------------------------------------- Documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/office-365-security/recommended-settings-for-eop-and-office365?view=o365-worldwide https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-office-365/secure-by-default https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-office-365/advanced-delivery-policy-configure#use-the-microsoft-defender-portal-to-configure-third-party-phishing-simulations-in-the-advanced-delivery-policy ---------------------------------------------------- Contact Us: Website: https://bluesecuritypod.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/bluesecuritypod Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bluesecpod Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BlueSecurityPodcast ----------------------------------------------------------- Andy Jaw Twitter: https://twitter.com/ajawzero LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andyjaw/ Email: andy@bluesecuritypod.com ---------------------------------------------------- Adam Brewer Twitter: https://twitter.com/ajbrewer LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamjbrewer/ Email: adam@bluesecuritypod.com --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blue-security-podcast/message
