Microsoft will soon add new fraud protection features to Teams calls, warning users about external callers who attempt to impersonate trusted organizations in social engineering attacks.

Named "Brand Impersonation Protection," the new Teams security feature will start rolling out to the targeted release ring in mid-February and will be enabled by default.

According to Microsoft, the feature checks incoming VoIP calls from first-time external contacts for signs of brand impersonation and displays high-risk call warnings before suspicious calls are answered.
