Microsoft’s Monday Mayhem: Admins Drowning in False Malware Alerts
Microsoft 365 admins were bombarded with false malware reports, leading to a Monday meltdown. Microsoft claims 99% of the issue is fixed, but many admins are still manually unblocking legitimate emails. So, if you’re waiting for that crucial email, it might be stuck in Microsoft’s version of purgatory!
Hot Take:
Looks like Microsoft’s Monday blues turned into a full-scale cyber comedy. Nothing like a little false alarm to spice up an admin’s day, right? Who knew malware detection would cause more drama than an episode of a reality TV show!
Key Points:
- Microsoft 365 flagged legitimate emails as malware, causing chaos for admins.
- Issue was reported on Reddit hours before Microsoft’s official alert.
- Admins now face the tedious task of manually unblocking legitimate emails.
- Microsoft claims 99% of impacted emails have been unblocked and replayed.
