Microsoft email address abused for spam

Scammers are exploiting a Microsoft email address, typically used for account alerts, to distribute spam. This loophole allows them to create new Microsoft accounts and send deceptive emails that appear to originate from the tech giant, potentially tricking recipients. Microsoft has been notified of the issue, which has been ongoing for months, and has yet to comment on its resolution. This incident follows similar abuses of company systems by scammers, including a fintech platform and a domain registrar, highlighting a broader trend of exploiting trusted communication channels for malicious purposes.
