Microsoft email system exploited for spam

Scammers are exploiting an internal Microsoft email account, typically used for legitimate alerts, to distribute spam links. This ongoing loophole allows threat actors to create new Microsoft accounts and send deceptive emails that appear to originate from the tech giant, potentially tricking users into believing they are genuine communications. Microsoft has acknowledged the issue but has not yet provided details on mitigation efforts. This incident follows similar abuses of company systems by hackers, including a recent exploitation of a fintech platform for crypto scams and a past incident involving Namecheap's email accounts for phishing.
