   Microsoft Teams to roll out malicious link warnings in private chats

   Microsoft Teams will begin alerting users to malicious links in private messages starting in September 2025. The feature, part of Microsoft Defender for Office 365, will flag URLs identified as spam, phishing, or malware. It will be enabled by default for all enterprise customers, with management options available through the Teams Admin Center or PowerShell. This enhancement complements existing security measures like Safe Links and Zero-hour Auto Purge (ZAP).
