Correlates inbound Microsoft Teams messages with subsequent execution of common Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tools (QuickAssist, AnyDesk, TeamViewer) on the recipient's device within a short time window. This pattern is associated with social engineering / tech-support-scam intrusions (e.g., Storm-1811 / Black Basta) where attackers lure victims via Teams chat and then convince them to launch an RMM tool to gain remote access.
