data, sdata and reserved parameters in Office-ATP-Safelinks
We have received a request from a "worried" user.
With us, links are converted into mails by ATP. So the users get links like:
https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgetsupport.atlassian.com%2Fservicedesk%2Fcustomer%2Fportal%2F20%2FGHS-191321%3Fsda_source%3Dnotification-email&data=01%7C01%7C%7C571bb1d7861543bac5c708d850981062%7C6e0bfede3fcb4518a16565dc14fe5620%7C0&sdata=SYE9eiOYbZb5HG8EPKlo%2FGsvhL9sJQ%2BpSpVr4TjZJbI%3D&reserved=0
That this is a security feature is quite clear. But what is behind the "data", "sdata" and "reserved" parameters that are integrated into the link?
What is this data needed/used for?
Some of our Users are worried that they can be tracked through these parameters.
- Pernille-Eskebo Knowing this information would help a lot of security teams across the world.
C'mon Microsft. Someone will have to be able to tell you how such a link is assembled.
