Microsoft Teams suffered an outage on August 26, 2026, primarily affecting Asia-Pacific users who could not join or create meetings, with some unable to share screens. Microsoft attributed the disruption to maintenance activity with unintended consequences. By 7:26 a.m. IST, the company reported the issue largely mitigated and said engineers would monitor for 15–30 minutes to prevent recurrence. One-to-one calls remained functional during the incident.
New malware targets Microsoft Teams users by posing as your company's IT helpdesk
A new backdoor malware called SynkLoader is targeting Microsoft Teams users via fake IT helpdesk messages urging victims to install a malicious "PowerShell Cleaner" hosted on Azure. Key modules include PhishLocker, which displays a fake Windows login screen to steal passwords, and Interactive Shell, enabling full remote control. Organizations are advised to treat unsolicited Teams messages with suspicion and verify requests directly with IT.
