Please be aware of a new cybersecurity threat involving fake Microsoft Teams installers being spread through malvertising. These installers appear legitimate but install Oyster malware, which can compromise your device and data.

Important reminders:

• Never install Microsoft Teams on your own. If you need it installed, please contact the ACORD Helpdesk.
• If you're ever required to download Teams, only use official sources such as the Microsoft 365 portal.
• Avoid clicking on ads or pop-ups offering software downloads.
