Microsoft's upcoming Teams update, set for targeted releases in early November 2025 and worldwide by January 2026, will allow users to initiate chats with only an email address, even if the recipient isn't a Teams user. This feature raises security concerns among experts.
I use teams at work and love the chat much more then emails. This is a very cool feature they are adding.
I guess if we stopped ourselves from every feature that could create more “phishing” vectors, we would be living in the stone age.
The moment you broaden any kind of communication, you expose yourself to more dangers.
