Hot Take:

Oh, Microsoft, you sly fox! You’ve given us a treasure map to our compromise history, but we need a GPS to find it! Just like a game of hide and seek, except the stakes are a bit higher than bragging rights. Who knew cybersecurity could be this thrilling?

Key Points:

  • Your overnight Microsoft MFA prompts could be a sign of compromised credentials.
  • The Microsoft Authenticator app lacks a “view history” option, leaving users in the dark.
  • The Microsoft portal offers detailed sign-in history, but the navigation can be confusing.
  • MFA-bombing is a real threat where users are flooded with prompts until they mistakenly approve one.
  • Admins can track sign-ins and potential threats through Azure’s Identity Protection Dashboard.
