What Happened to Black Basta's Playbook? The Automated Teams Phishing Threat Hitting Executives
Wednesday, 29 April, 2026
Black Basta disbanded in February 2025, but their playbook didn't go with them. In March 2026, 77% of observed incidents targeted executives and directors, and attackers moved from first contact to malicious script execution in as little as 12 minutes. The tactic has been automated, refined, and is now running faster than most SOCs can respond. Join hosts Alexandra and John as they discuss:How attackers leverage Microsoft Teams phishing to target high-privilege accounts with alarming speedWhy automation is compressing attack timelines and sharpening target selectionThe controls that can stop it, from help desk verification to automated containment workflows Two questions your organization should be asking right now:When IT requests remote access to a senior leader's endpoint, is identity verified through a channel separate from the one the request came from?Do your highest-privilege accounts have dedicated automated containment workflows — or are they the gap in your response playbook?Resources: https://linktr.ee/ReliaQuestShadowTalkJohn Dilgen: Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst at ReliaQuest, where he specializes in researching cyber threats impacting ReliaQuest customers.
