Is this phishing?? How could this happen????

I received this "post" in MS Teams from Jira Cloud. Our Agile leader has no idea what it or why I received it:

Hi @Rick Sheeley 

Welcome to the community!

I dont think its phishing. I suppose itthe official Jira Cloud app for Microsoft Teams doing its first-time setup for your channel.

When someone installs (or re-installs) the Jira Cloud integration in a Teams channel, the bot sends exactly this kind of message, it's asking you to confirm which Atlassian site it should connect to for creating and updating work items from that channel.

Yep and also lately some functions get updated.

I appreciate the responses.... but it DOES look like a phishing message...... Atlassian seems to think that these "weird" messages are fine, but one of these days a good hacker is going to exploit them......

Hello and welcome to Atlassian Community @Rick Sheeley 

That doesn't looks like phishing and is probably related to new functionality https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Jira-articles/Turn-any-Microsoft-Teams-conversation-into-Jira-work-with/ba-p/3280876

I disagree. It looks EXACTLY like a phishing message....
