  "account": "Microsoft Teams is set to introduce AI-powered phishing detection to help safeguard users from scams and social engineering attempts. The new security feature, scheduled for release in November 2026, will analyze context in conversations to identify suspicious activity, even when traditional red flags like malicious links or files are not present. The AI-powered system will scrutinize high-risk messaging scenarios like external first-contact chats for any signs of phishing or impersonation attempts. Microsoft asserts that customer data will not be retained for any purposes other than improving security, emphasizing that the feature is solely intended for protective measures and will not be used for productivity, summarization, advertising, or user monitoring.",
