Enumerating Users and Mailboxes in Microsoft Outlook 365 Web

During our research into Microsoft 365 security, we discovered a flaw in Outlook on the web (OWA) that exposed information about users and their mailboxes.

The Security Blind Spots Most Operators Miss - According to Igor Finkelshtein

In the cybersecurity world, it's easy to focus on the latest breach or high-profile vulnerability. But according to multi-industry operator Igor Finkelshtein, most security incidents don't begin with sophisticated attacks - they begin with overlooked operational weaknesses. From transportation to real estate to SaaS platforms, Finkelshtein's experience shows that cybersecurity is ultimately an operational discipline. The vulnerabilities that quietly accumulate inside a business often pose a greater risk than anything happening outside it.

Report: Phishing Has Surged 400% Year-Over-Year

The Ghost in the Machine: How a Multi-Stage Phishing Campaign Evades Security to Steal Microsoft 365 Credentials

Since November 3, 2025, KnowBe4 Threat Labs has been monitoring a highly sophisticated, multi-stage phishing operation that is actively targeting organizations to steal employees’ Microsoft 365 credentials. The campaign has been engineered to bypass traditional email security defenses, such as secure email gateways (SEGs), and multi-factor authentication (MFA) tools.

Phishing Campaign Uses Fake Party Invites to Deliver Remote Access Tools

A large phishing campaign is using phony seasonal party invites to trick users into installing remote management and monitoring (RMM) tools, according to researchers at Symantec. “A highly active threat actor that specializes in using the ScreenConnect remote management and monitoring (RMM) software in its attacks has changed tactics and is now infecting its victims with multiple RMM tools, including LogMeIn Resolve and Naverisk,” Symantec says.
