Interesting new development, UnifiedAuditLogs in Europe have failed to update UserLoggedin records since around 25/11/2020, logged a case with MS, have seen AZ auditlogs re-feed old data to unifiedauditlogs but username is not the email address but the SID, so this looks like they have a problem and a bug. I added a P1 lic to one of my 12 Tenants and checking Get-AzureADAuditSignInLogs in stead, will let you know if this is more accurate regarding the incorrectly recorded MS sites.

MS has fixed the Azure log feed into UnifiedAuditLogs last week, which gave me the opportunity to look at the Azure logs (the source logs) in depth again, which confirmed that the False Positive is already present in the Azure UserLogin logs. Unfortunately the Azure logs content itself proves no better, even worse as the (MS internal) IP lookup does not even identify/log their own datacentres (so you have something to filter on). So I am back to extracting the UnifiedAuditLog, running it by an IP lookup and ignoring ISP=Microsoft Data Centres, as these are all false positives. Have managed to catch several hacked accounts this way, if customers would only pay the eu5 extra for P1, so we can use MFA (and Registered Locations) and the likes as prevention is always better than detection after the hack has already taken place.
