⚠️ALERT: Scammers are sending FAKE Microsoft outage EMAILS that give you 24 HOURS to save your messages. Microsoft 365 and Exchange Online really did go down on November 12, with Downdetector reports from 74 countries and territories inside an hour. The fake emails copy the layout of Microsoft's own quarantine digests and quote the real Exchange Online incident number, EX1550543. They claim four messages are being held and will be deleted within 24 hours unless you hit "RESTORE MESSAGES." That button leads to a credential harvesting page, per security firm Field Effect. Microsoft Threat Intelligence says the campaign is active and the messages "impersonate Microsoft 365 service health notifications." Microsoft found no evidence the outage itself was malicious. Real quarantine emails come from [email protected]. Microsoft posts outage updates only on the Microsoft 365 admin centre Service health page. Never the link in the email.
