"the meeting said something on my system was out of date. i installed the missing item as i presumed it was something to do with teams, and this was the RAT."
I had a job offer interview sent to me a couple weeks ago that ended like this.
Everything was normal messaging. Back and forth. Got the invite to schedule a google meet. All looked like all the other things.
Day of meeting, click the google meet button in the email.. redirect to a browser screen showing that google meet needs an update, this is the microsoft store.
Rush, hurry, meeting will be late!
except it was not the msoft store it was all fake.
I wish indeed and other job sites shared more info about these (like fake company signed up with a fake email from a vpn to publish this job listing that possibly infected 1,000 computers- and some are reporting X Y Or Z (ransom, whatever)
I wonder if I would have been saved by my absolute disdain for installing anything Microsoft Teams-related on my computer. The web version works fine, thanks.
As a general rule I install none of these web conferencing things on my machine. Either the browser version works fine, as Google Meet, Zoom, Teams and even WebEx all do, or this is not a meeting I need to be on.
