Phishers quick to exploit extended M365 outage
Matched: health
During a recent Microsoft 365 outage, phishers quickly sent fake service health notifications warning users their emails were being held and would be deleted unless they clicked a link to restore access. The emails impersonated Microsoft's legitimate outage alerts, exploiting user anxiety during the disruption to steal credentials. Users are urged to verify alerts only through official Microsoft channels.
