Microsoft warns of phishing campaign after outage

 Microsoft Inc. warned its users on Saturday that an active phishing campaign is underway, with hackers attempting to exploit their recent service outage.

The company said on X that the messages impersonate Microsoft 365 service health notifications and reference the outage incident. "The activity is consistent with credential phishing, although credential collection and malware delivery have not been confirmed," the company said, urging clients to use the Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Threat Explorer and Microsoft Defender XDR advanced hunting to identify suspicious activity.

"Organizations should verify their Safe Links policies, investigate potential user interactions, and confirm service disruptions directly through the Microsoft 365 admin center," the company advised.
