ConnectWise suspended its Cloud Backup (formerly SkyKick), SaaS Security and Cloud Management services in October 2026 after a compromised application credential was used to access customers' Microsoft 365 tenants. Huntress saw the Cloud Backup identity sign in to 162 tenants on 15 to 16 October and attacker IP 144.172.64[.]128 try nearly 1,000 Entra tenants, with over 300 successful sign-ins. In one tenant, the Cloud Management Teams app added itself to Global Administrator and added client secrets to other apps. No restoration timeline has been given.

Microsoft Threat Intelligence maps a Chinese-language cybercrime ecosystem: the YAM Store (Storm-3119), an initial access broker that hijacks Microsoft 365/Azure Education tenants and resells accounts, licenses and SharePoint/OneDrive storage, and the Storm-2990 phishing kits (CoGUI, Haozi, Iron Man System) sold via Telegram. It details the five-stage broker pipeline (app-only client-secret abuse, PnP Management Shell service principal, Graph permissions, Cloudflare DNS management), kit evasion features (geofencing, fake CAPTCHA, WebSocket/Telegram live interaction, 2,335+ templates), downstream device-code phishing and card fraud, and lists mitigations such as passkeys, phishing-resistant MFA and Conditional Access. Microsoft's DCU facilitated a disruption with law enforcement; kits sent over one billion messages since January 2026.

Microsoft and Health-ISAC seized domains tied to YAM Store (Storm-3119), an access broker that hijacks Microsoft 365 and Azure for Education tenants, and to the Storm-2990 phishing kits CoGUI, Haozi and Iron Man, under a Southern District of Florida order. The services sent over 1B malicious messages since January 2026 to 75,000+ organizations in 150+ countries; Microsoft disabled 20,000+ accounts and is blocking 100,000+ domains. Iron Man offers 2,335+ templates and real-time OTP capture, and Resecurity found it needs regular contact with a vendor licensing server, a dependency defenders can exploit.

A post summarizing a joint FBI and six-country advisory on actors tied to Integrity Technology Group (the sanctioned Chinese firm linked to Flax Typhoon and the Raptor Train botnet). They password-sprayed Microsoft 365 and Exchange accounts over EWS, OWA, ActiveSync and PowerShell with EBurst. They then drained mailboxes with a PHP bot over Exchange Web Services and an office-cli utility using stored client ID, tenant ID and secret values, and exposed the stolen email to third parties through a web app, in some cases restricted to Xiamen IP addresses. Victims were in government, law enforcement, healthcare and religious organizations across Southeast Asia, Africa and North America, with activity since at least January 2021. Defensive takeaways: enforce MFA on every legacy path, retire basic auth and EWS, audit OAuth apps and service principals with mail-read rights, and alert on bulk mailbox pulls.

Decrypt reports on Google Cloud's newly announced Gemini Agent, a long-running AI agent that operates across Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, Chat, Calendar, Microsoft 365 and Slack, and can run for hours or days on a single goal. The feature allows managers to spin up coworker agents with their own Workspace email address, calendar, Drive storage and directory listing, each given a cryptographically attested identity and a separate audit trail; agents connect to Salesforce, ServiceNow, Jira, Snowflake, BigQuery and any Model Context Protocol server, and are orchestrated across both Gemini and Anthropic's Claude models depending on cost and quality fit. Google pairs the launch with safety infrastructure, an Agent Sandbox, an AI network firewall called Agent Gateway, and real-time token-spend caps, citing a prior Claude Cowork VM-escape finding by Accomplish AI as the kind of containment failure it is designed to prevent.

Microsoft Security Research details an active campaign (since May 2026) where attackers use voice-phishing and SMS lures impersonating IT helpdesk passkey/SSO enrollment requests to drive victims into AiTM or device-code phishing flows, compromising Microsoft 365 identities. Post-compromise, actors register attacker-controlled MFA methods (e.g., software OTP tokens) for persistence, conduct systematic Microsoft Graph reconnaissance across users, groups, roles, and SharePoint/OneDrive/Exchange, then exfiltrate data at a measured pace using automated Node.js/python-httpx tooling while evading detection through IP rotation and anonymous proxies. The post includes real audit-log JSON examples, multiple KQL hunting queries for GraphAPIAuditEvents/CloudAppEvents, full MITRE ATT&CK mapping, and attributes the initial-access tradecraft to Storm-3121 and Storm-3032, which feed into ShinyHunters/Falcon and Helix extortion operations.

Huntress researchers uncovered the operator console for "Knight Office," a Flask-based adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) phishing kit used to steal Microsoft 365 session tokens via a DocuSign-themed, self-spoofed lure that routes victims through Monday.com redirects and a compromised Joomla site to a fake Microsoft device-code authentication page. After capturing tokens, the attacker registered a rogue device in Microsoft Entra ID and bound a Windows Hello for Business key credential to the compromised account to maintain persistent, MFA-bypassing access even after token revocation. The writeup details IOCs (IPs, .vu domains, User-Agent strings), links the campaign to hundreds of reported phishing emails since April, and gives defenders concrete hunting/response steps around callback-proxy sign-ins and newly registered WHfB credentials.

A Huntress detection engineer describes using an LLM to analyze a Microsoft 365 account-takeover case: the model flagged an app identifier as malicious, but it turned out to be the legitimate Outlook desktop client (present in 17%+ of customer orgs) — a scoping error caused by comparing against the wrong denominator. Rescoping the same query correctly surfaced the actual malicious tooling (an identifier seen in only three orgs, rewriting inbox rules), which shipped as a live detection rule with true positives and no false positives so far. The piece generalizes this into a framework for delegating detection-engineering work to AI: only hand over tasks you can cheaply and reliably verify, and invest in building fast, repeatable checks (coverage checks, alert-volume checks, known-good/known-bad tests) rather than trusting raw LLM output.

Huntress details a second 2026 wave of device code phishing against Microsoft 365, this time abusing VPS reseller BL Networks (BitLaunch/BLNWX, AS399629) after an earlier wave tied to Railway and the EvilTokens phishing-as-a-service kit. Huntress observed 533 malicious events and 113 successful logins from a single BL Networks IP in April, spreading across multiple IPs and subnets by May, with 26 critical incidents across 23 identities logged in July, and argues defenders must stop trusting infrastructure reputation and instead hunt for anomalous device-code sign-in clusters and revoke tokens quickly. It ties the activity to the broader legitimate-cloud-plus-legitimate-Microsoft-auth-page attack pattern also seen with Railway, EvilTokens, and Kali365.

Huntress details two 2026 campaigns that bypassed Microsoft 365 MFA despite Conditional Access policies being in place: device code phishing abusing Railway.com's clean IP infrastructure, attributed to the EvilTokens phishing-as-a-service platform, hitting 344 orgs, and a ROPC-based credential replay attack from LSHIY LLC infrastructure with 81 million login attempts and 78 compromised accounts, 55 of which had active MFA policies that didn't actually cover Azure CLI or legacy auth. It breaks down how narrow Conditional Access policy scoping, missing All Cloud Apps coverage, excluded user groups, report-only mode, mislabeled trusted locations, let attackers through, and recommends blocking device code flow and legacy auth via Conditional Access as the fix.

Johann Rehberger's writeup of his DEF CON Singapore talk detailing a multi-stage exploit chain against Microsoft 365 Copilot and Consumer Copilot (CVE-2026-24299): indirect prompt injection triggers Copilot's HTML preview feature, CSS background-image/font-face rules bypass img-src CSP and exfiltrate data over font-src, and the attack is made zero-click by instructing Copilot to auto-open the preview. It further chains this with abuse of Copilot's record_memory / durable-facts long-term memory tools (which have no audit logging) to plant persistent "SpAIware"-style instructions that silently exfiltrate any password or secret the user later types, plus Delayed Tool Invocation as a reliability trick and edge_navigate_to abuse in Edge's Copilot to leak stored memories. Includes full disclosure timeline (Oct 2025 report to Dec 2025/Mar 2026 fixes) and broader lessons on CSP not being a reliable AI security boundary and the "lethal trifecta."

Huntress tracked a large, ongoing password spray campaign against Microsoft 365/Azure CLI using the deprecated OAuth ROPC (Resource Owner Password Credentials) flow, which sends passwords directly to the /token endpoint and bypasses MFA prompts enforced via Conditional Access Policies. Between June 12-26, over 81 million login attempts from LSHIY LLC's IPv6 range (AS32167) compromised 78 accounts across 64 organizations, many of which had MFA enabled but scoped incorrectly (app-specific, group-specific, trusted-location exceptions, or report-only mode). After LSHIY terminated the abusive BYOIP customer, attackers pivoted to FranTech (AS53667) and then 3xK Tech GmbH (AS200373), rotating through ~12,800 IPv4 addresses at low per-IP volume to evade detection while sustaining ~1.5 million login attempts/day.

Huntress details ConsentFix, an evolution of ClickFix that abuses Microsoft 365 OAuth sign-in flows: victims are phished via password-protected Dropbox or DocSend lures, shown a fake Microsoft sign-in page, and tricked into dragging a localhost callback link into their browser, which exfiltrates OAuth tokens and hijacks the session without needing a password or triggering MFA. A cybercrime forum post published the full technique with working code and infrastructure such as Cloudflare Pages, workers.dev, and Pipedream webhooks, and showed attackers using LinkedIn, ZoomInfo, and Hunter.io to profile victims before sending lures.

Varonis Threat Labs details SearchLeak, a three-stage exploit chain (CVE-2026-42824, critical) that abuses Microsoft 365 Copilot Enterprise Search: a Parameter-to-Prompt (P2P) injection via the search URL's `q` parameter turns a clicked link into an AI instruction, an HTML-rendering race condition lets an injected `<img>` tag fire before Copilot's `<code>`-block sanitizer applies, and Bing's "Search by Image" endpoint (allowlisted in the CSP) performs a server-side fetch that exfiltrates the stolen data to an attacker's server. A single click on a trusted microsoft.com link lets an attacker silently exfiltrate emails, security codes, calendar data, and SharePoint/OneDrive content with the victim's full Graph permissions, no plugins or extra permissions required. Microsoft has patched the issue; the post is a follow-up to Varonis' earlier "Reprompt" finding in Copilot Personal.

Huntress details a device-code phishing campaign hitting 340+ Microsoft 365 tenants across the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Germany since February 2026, in which attackers abuse Railway.com's clean-IP PaaS infrastructure to run OAuth device-code token replay at scale, bypassing MFA entirely. The campaign chains vendor URL-rewriter abuse (Cisco, Trend Micro, Mimecast), compromised sites, Cloudflare workers.dev phishing pages, and AI-assisted lure generation, and Huntress has attributed it to the EvilTokens Phishing-as-a-Service platform advertised via Telegram. The post includes IOCs (Railway CIDR ranges), Sentinel KQL hunting queries, and mitigation guidance (block Railway IPs, revoke refresh tokens, restrict device code flow, enable CAE).

Huntress CEO Kyle Hanslovan demonstrates a full modern account-takeover chain against Microsoft 365: buying stolen credentials on a dark web marketplace, using a ChatGPT-crafted phishing email with a fake SharePoint link to trigger a ClickFix-style CAPTCHA that tricks the victim into pasting a PowerShell command, stealing active session cookies with an infostealer, and importing them via the Cookie Editor browser extension to bypass MFA entirely. It then covers post-compromise tradecraft — malicious inbox rules to forward/hide sensitive emails, Teams-based social engineering of IT support to register new MFA devices, and abusing email-based password resets on non-SSO apps (payroll, CRM) — plus defensive recommendations (conditional access, inbox rule auditing, DMARC/DKIM/BIMI, session revocation processes, security awareness training).

A Huntress researcher walks through Device Code Phishing, an OAuth 2.0 device authorization grant abuse technique, and shows why it is far more dangerous against Azure/Microsoft 365 than against Google Cloud. In Azure, the attacker controls the requested resource and can use Microsoft's undocumented "Family of Client IDs" (e.g. the Microsoft Authentication Broker client ID) to phish a Primary Refresh Token capable of joining rogue devices, enrolling MFA, and full account takeover; Google's device code implementation restricts the flow to a handful of narrow scopes (GDrive file access, YouTube read-only) and requires a registered/verified OAuth app, neutering the same attack. The piece includes working curl/Python requests for both providers and references prior research by Dirk-jan Mollema, Nestori Syynimaa, and Lina Lau.

A practical walkthrough showing how a dangling DNS CNAME (subdomain takeover) combined with the default 'relaxed' DMARC alignment mode (aspf=r/adkim=r) lets an attacker send phishing emails that pass SPF and DMARC for the victim's organizational domain, using a self-owned mail server behind Microsoft 365. The author also demonstrates a partial DKIM trick — signing with a domain other than the spoofed sender to make emails look more legitimate — and shows the resulting mail landing in an Outlook inbox with dmarc=pass. It recommends setting aspf=s/adkim=s (strict alignment) and cleaning up unused DNS records as mitigations.
