⚠️ A normal meeting invite just turned into a full system hack.
A developer joined what appeared to be a legitimate Microsoft Teams call…
But it was actually a carefully designed attack.
Here’s what happened:
→ Hackers impersonated a real company
→ Created a fake Slack workspace with real-looking people
→ Scheduled a meeting to build trust
→ Then asked for a simple “update install.”
That install?
A RAT (remote access trojan) that gave them full control.
From there, things escalated fast…
A compromised account ended up publishing malicious code (Axios versions) that could steal credentials and access systems.
This is what makes modern attacks dangerous:
They don’t look like hacks anymore…
They look like normal work.
And with AI, these scams are becoming even more realistic.
