U.S. Government Outbound Connections on all Teams accounts

Copper Contributor
Hello,
One of my customers I support has a massive amount of fraud being done by a high ranking executive. They brought in a security engineer to find the leak and I was just questioned on why Microsoft Teams is connecting to the following domains:

www.collab.apps.mil
dod.teams.microsoft.us
www.gov.teams.microsoft.us

It does not appear this is specific only to this customer (1st assumption was a legal order) since I’ve ran wireshark on 4 other customers and they each had the same lookup requests completed.

I have a feeling if this were some PRISM/Xkeyscore to report device and IP address then it would’ve been concealed a bit better but nonetheless I was speechless and now I’m wondering if I will be allowed to continue supporting this customer.

Please help me understand what these lookups are. I can post wireshark files later if needed. Also, it appears this primarily affects mobile users but I will have to do more research on this later.

Did you ever get an answer @sbouillon ...I had some very very serious and detailed issues after detecting this on all office suite from mobile. I do not want to elaborate here. Happy to chat about what was going on. Serious enough I have 85,000 screenshots of their next steps and am still looking it up 3 years after I had noticed it.

I have been dealing with this since 2022 and it’s been an absolute nightmare, I just tried to create a personal teams account and checkout these logs:
