Microsoft failure: National Cybersecurity Center warns of scam attempts and issues recommendations
The National Cybersecurity Center (CNCS) has warned of potential scams following a global technical failure in Microsoft 365 services, including Outlook, Teams, and SharePoint, that began on the afternoon of Thursday 12 November. While Microsoft reports no malicious origin for the failure itself, the CNCS warns that criminals often exploit such incidents to target users through phishing emails, messages, or fraudulent support calls.
Why it matters
If you receive any suspicious emails or calls claiming to be from Microsoft or IT support regarding the recent service disruption, do not share passwords or click links; verify all information only through Microsoft's official channels to avoid being scammed.SIC NotíciasRead original ↗
