The FBI has issued an urgent warning over a fast-spreading phishing campaign that is targeting users of Microsoft 365 services, including Outlook, Microsoft Teams, and OneDrive. The scam is powered by a cybercrime toolkit known as 'Kali365', which is enabling attackers to bypass traditional security protections, including multifactor authentication, without ever needing to steal a password.

Security researchers say the campaign is already spreading quickly, raising concerns that millions of users could be exposed to account takeover attempts that leave no obvious trace of compromise.
