OWASP Austin Chapter Meeting February 2025

When: Tuesday, February 25, 2025 @ 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM
Agenda:
11:30-11:55 -- Room Opens, food is available and in-room discussions
11:55-12:05 -- Chapter/OWASP info presentation
12:05-1 -- Speaker Presentation

Presentation: When the Tool is the Weapon -- Abusing (and defending) native M365 applications

When you think about Business Email Compromise, you think about the mailbox, right? Malicious inbox rules, spoofed domains hijacking email threads, and phishing campaigns blasted to a user’s contact list are hallmarks of this type of attack. However, other applications within the M365 ecosystem are often leveraged by Threat Actors while they are in a compromised tenant.

Teams, SharePoint, E-Discovery, and OneNote can and have been abused by threat actors during a business email compromise. Initial access, exfil, and leapfrogging to new victims can happen in a way that will not throw any alerts. What are the threat actors doing with these apps, how can we detect it, and how can we stop it?

Speaker:
Alexis Watters
