Threat actor uses Microsoft Teams to deploy new “Snow” malware

Hackers deploy new Snow custom malware suite via Microsoft Teams

A threat group tracked as UNC6692 uses social engineering to deploy a new, custom malware suite named “Snow,” which includes a browser extension, a tunneler, and a backdoor.

Their goal is to steal sensitive data after deep network compromise through credential theft and domain takeover.

According to Google’s Mandiant researchers, the attacker uses “email bombing” tactics to create urgency, then contact targets via Microsoft Teams, posing as IT helpdesk agents.
