Microsoft warns Outlook, Teams users against fake outage emails

Microsoft issued a warning about phishing attacks targeting Outlook and Teams users following a service disruption. Cybercriminals are impersonating official service health notifications to deceive recipients. Many phishing emails falsely claim that held emails will be deleted unless users restore them. Microsoft advises organizations to verify alerts through the admin centre and assess suspicious emails. Enhanced security measures should be implemented to protect against these phishing attempts.
