Major Data Breach Possibility - SharePoint Retention Policy includes Team Channel Sites (Orphaned)
This post is to highlight a serious issue with regards to one of the static Retention Policy templates that includes Microsoft Teams Shared and Private Channels which can ultimately leave the Channel sites orphaned when you delete the Microsoft Team, and ultimately lead you to a potential data breach.
Due to this issue, we identified almost six hundred orphaned Channel sites in our tenant.
I've provided full details in the SharePoint Feedback forum so Microsoft customers are aware of the issue and hopefully we can get Microsoft to fix it urgently.
