MS Teams users at Army Futures Command potentially exposed private info

Jaspreet Gill reports:

Users of the Microsoft Teams platform at Army Futures Command earlier this month potentially exposed personal and health identifying information to an unsecured number of department employees, and AFC is moving to prevent it from happening again, according to a memo obtained by Breaking Defense.

Microsoft Teams — the most widely used platform across federal government and civilian agencies — allows users to choose from public and private privacy settings. Army Futures Command’s 365 MS Teams default was allegedly set to “public,” resulting in shared files being exposed to all users across the Defense Department. An AFC spokesperson confirmed to Breaking Defense on background users logged into MS Teams could see other users’ content.
