Microsoft Teams Suspicious App Installation and Bot Abuse
Detects suspicious app installations, custom app creation, and bot additions within Microsoft Teams. This rule flags activities such as sideloaded app installations (which bypass Teams store vetting and can be used for persistence), custom app creation outside of typical development teams (potentially indicating C2 bots or data exfiltration apps), and the addition of bots, especially when combined with suspicious keywords in the app name. These actions can be indicative of an adversary establishing persistence or gaining unauthorized access and control within the Teams environment.
