Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) is ruining Outlook.com
About a week ago, I noticed that all URLs were suddenly extremely long/obscure, and beginning with something like: https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url= It destroys the URL visibil...
This is now confirmed in today's announcement- https://blogs.office.com/en-us/2017/10/30/premium-outlook-com-features-now-available-to-office-365-subscribers:
For Office 365 Home and Office 365 Personal subscribers, we now offer additional security against the most sophisticated types of threats in two ways:
- Scanning attachments—Sophisticated techniques detect new types of malware previously not seen, giving you protection against today’s most advanced threats.
- Checking links—When you click a link in an email, it is checked in real-time to determine if the destination website is likely to download viruses or malware onto your computer. If the site is found to be malicious, a warning screen alerts you not to access the site.
Hi all
In work we have a big problem with this now effecting 70 thousand employees.
Problem is that when you copy a link from a hyperlink and paste into word or excel or any other file or document. The link becomes unusable for anyone else accept the user who added it to the document.
The safelink has encryption within it to allows the experts to be able trace back the hyperlink if it leaves the work environment or if required to see who over time as spread the link. But by doing this hyperlinks have now become redundant. As the only way now around this is to each time just post the full link to the page or document and not use hyperlink. This is a pain un the arse. Delaying and preventing work being done. It will mean that business will stop using outlook and instead move to other forms if this continues. Please resolve this. This is a big problem that Microsoft are ignoring. Its causing a lot of issues and rework costing hi sums of wasted money from wasted time.
