Change default recipient for default security alerts

In the Office 365 Security admin center, under Alerts > Alert policies, all of Microsoft's default alert policies are configured to send to "TenantAdmins". I would like to change this default recipient address for all existing and future default alerts, without having to manually change it on each alert.

 

I have found that you cannot modify these alerts using PowerShell. But is there a way to set the default recipient for default alerts? I haven't been able to find one.

    ugh just ended up here myself.  really, I HAVE to go through all 46 default policies manually on the website and change each of them to point to our security group instead of all tenant admins?

    I'm utterly baffled that the default here is to email blast all tenant admins every time a user marks something as junk/not junk.  How in the world is that a sensible default?

    Even more ironic when you dig in and see that the "opt in to emails" box is checked.  I'm not sure Microsoft knows what the term "opt in" means.
