Targeted social engineering via fake enterprise meeting invites bypasses all security training

Sophisticated attackers deliver remote access trojans by scheduling fake Microsoft Teams meetings with targets, then presenting a convincing software update prompt during the call that installs malware. This attack exploits implicit trust in familiar enterprise tools and is personalized enough to defeat standard phishing training. No existing endpoint or meeting security tool validates whether software update prompts during video calls are legitimate.

npm Ecosystem Silently Executes Malicious Code via Transitive Dependencies

The Axios backdoor attack demonstrated this at 80M weekly download scale, with sophisticated obfuscation and self-cleanup. Existing tools like Snyk detect known vulnerabilities but do not prevent silent postinstall execution from newly compromised accounts.
