How to exclude Blocked sender's form End user quarantine notification/Digest
@All We have end user notification policy in place. Whenever user blocks a sender from Quarantine notification/Digest and next day if we receive email from same sender, it's in quarantine then again quarantine notification/digest will say same stating email from xyz is in quarantine eventhought it was blocked yesterday by same user. This seems to be by design: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/office-365-security/quarantine-quarantine-notifications?view=o365-worldwide As article say to create a Transport Rule. I created one with Condition as header matches following keywords or phrases Header x-forefrontAntispamreport & Value = SFV:SKN. How this not work, I am not sure if transport rule does not accept this header feild( Because some rule works when I say header = From) or its something to do with priority. Oall am trying to achieve here is once sender is blocked by user in Enduser quarantine notification then onwards that sender should not be shown again in notification. I think we need to some how delete/emails from blocked senders in quarantine However i only can think of transport rule as of now but that's not working. Any suggestions/thoughts are appreciated, Thank you.Limit access to Quarantine (and only quarantine)
The enduser quarantine is reachable at https://security.microsoft.com/quarantine Based on our security policies, we have limited access using Conditional Access and the cloud app “Microsoft Admin Portals.” Consequently, no user can directly access the quarantine. We have made the necessary exceptions to ensure the quarantine functions properly. However, there is an issue: Users without proper permissions can still navigate extensively within the portal. For example: On the left-side navigation, they can click on “Start.” Within the “Next steps” section, there is a link to “Advanced Hunting.” Although they cannot perform any actions there, the link remains accessible. Additionally, under “Additional Resources,” users can click on any admin center, albeit with limited functionality. Is there anyone with an idea on how to restrict users to the quarantine area only, preventing access to other sections of the portal?
Anti Phishing - Impersonation protection
Hey, I know that these types of protection are often black boxes to make it more difficult to bypass attacks. But with the best will in the world I don't understand the point of this function. I'm trying to harden the anti-phishing policies in Defender for O365. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/office-365-security/anti-phishing-policies-about?view=o365-worldwide Now here are three different protection options: User Impersonation Domain Impersonation Mailbox intelligence impersonation protection So far so clear. Now the purple box for user impersonation states that it only works if the persons have had no previous contact. (User impersonation protection does not work if the sender and recipient have previously communicated via email. If the sender and recipient have never communicated via email, the message can be identified as an impersonation attempt). Mailbox Intelligence Impersonation Protection states that it compares emails from protected persons with previous contact and lets the emails through accordingly. (For example: Gabriela Laureano (email address removed for privacy reasons) is the managing director of your company. You therefore add her as a protected sender in the settings of the Enable users for protection policy. However, some of the recipients in the policy regularly communicate with a supplier who is also called Gabriela Laureano (email address removed for privacy reasons). Since these recipients have a communication history with email address removed for privacy reasons, the mailbox intelligence does not recognize messages from email address removed for privacy reasons for these recipients as an attempt to impersonate email address removed for privacy reasons.) It would make sense if the mailbox intelligence impersonation protection would recognize if the email address of an existing contact were to change or be impersonated and this contact is not defined as a protected sender. However, the example refers to a user who is already set as "protected sender". What is Mailbox Intelligence Impersonation Protection for now? This is exactly what User impersonation already does when it recognizes previous contact.
Possible major problem with MS Defender scanning/clicking links??
Our organization has a process that emails users "magic links" to approve/reject various workflows. All of our troubleshooting points to something systematically "clicking" the first link in the email and I think it's Microsoft Defender for O365 somehow validating/exploring links? Is this a possibility and what would be the best way to prove/disprove/fix? As of a few days ago, these workflows are getting approved from the "magic link" immediately as the email is received. The first link in the email is "Approve" and "Reject" is the second link. I swapped the order and now they're getting automatically rejected as soon as the email is received.
Configure Quarantine Notifications to Admins when the any Email is quarantined
Hi All, Good morning, I would like to understand the possible options in EOP and defender for O365 to send an alert or notification mail to the E-mail administrator as soon as any mail is quarantined for any user mailbox in Exchange online. I searched most of the options, but I don't see any solid solution for this. Please share your thoughts and experience on this. Thanks in advance.
ZAP/Post-delivery reporting for Teams, Sharepoint & OneDrive
It seems that the email & collaboration report for 'post-delivery activities' only covers ZAP activity for emails. While in other E&C reports, a pivot by workload is supported, this doesn't seem to be the case. Are there ZAP/Post-delivery reports available for Teams, SPO & ODB?
Automate adding users to impersonation protection
Hi All, Impersonation protection allows you mark 350 VIP users to have them additionally protected from attacks who try to impersonate them. You can add them individually to your policies. But it contains a painful process of having to individually click all the users you want to add... So I automated this in a script so you don't have it manually: https://github.com/LouisMastelinck/set-TargetedUsersToProtect-bulk-script/tree/main More info about the functions used: https://www.lousec.be/mdo/user-impersonation-protected-user-upload-script/ Hope it has a use for anybody who might need it. Kind Regards LouisDefender for iOS: “This account has reached its devices limit” even though no devices are listed
I am using all 5 devices available (2 PC's, 1 Mac, 2 IOS devices) I was trying to install Microsoft Defender for IOS on a new iPhone created by copying from the old phone (iPhone 11) to the new phone (iPhone 17). I erased my old iPhone 11 while Defender was still installed My Microsoft account shows zero mobile devices (none were linked to my MS account) Defender on the new iPhone never completed sign‑in with my MS account “Sign out everywhere” and app removal didn’t help (also app removal, restart IOS device, reinstall Defender for IOS) You suspect a stuck Defender mobile enrollment token You need Microsoft to reset the backend mobile device slot From Office Copilot: What to tell the agent (so you don’t get bounced) Use this exact wording: “Microsoft Defender for iOS says ‘This account has reached its devices limit’ even though no devices appear in my Microsoft account. My old iPhone was erased while Defender was still signed in. I need my Defender mobile device enrollment reset.” This sends them straight to the backend reset tool. Why this works when everything else doesn’t The issue isn’t on your devices or in your account UI — it’s a server-side Defender mobile quota flag that only Microsoft support can clear. The consumer Defender team (under Microsoft 365 support) is the only group with access to that system.
