Phishy Business: Microsoft’s Copilot Gets a Sneaky Makeover with CoPhish Tactics!
Beware of chatty bots! The new CoPhish tactic turns friendly Microsoft Copilot Studio agents into sneaky phishers, sending fraudulent OAuth requests via legit Microsoft domains. Researchers call it a clever social engineering trick, while Microsoft is gearing up to fix the loopholes. Until then, keep your wits—and your admin privileges—about you!
Hot Take:
It seems like the latest phishing trend is to play “Copilot or Cop-out?” with Microsoft’s Copilot Studio! It’s like a game of cyber cat and mouse, except the mouse is an unsuspecting admin and the cat is a cleverly disguised OAuth consent request. Microsoft is on it, though, promising to fix this little game of cat and mouse in their next update. Until then, remember: if it looks like a Copilot, acts like a Copilot, but has a shady agenda, it might just be CoPhish trying to reel you in!
Key Points:
- CoPhish is a phishing technique that exploits Microsoft’s Copilot Studio agents.
- It uses legitimate Microsoft domains to deliver fraudulent OAuth consent requests.
- Microsoft is aware and plans to address the issue in future updates.
- Admins are particularly vulnerable to this type of attack.
- Organizations can mitigate risks by reducing app permissions and enforcing governance policies.
