AK Denduluri (@denduluri) reported@MicrosoftIndia Appears you are registered as a gaming entity leading to additional charges by banks for office 365 subscriptions... How is it valid for the consumer? Should @Microsoft not fix the way the tax code for the entity? Or discount those charges (+GST) to the consumer?

Bad **** (@TeaseTech) reported@nicochristie HTML attachments are one of the most abused vectors for phishing, fake login pages, and credential-harvesting scripts. Because of this: Microsoft 365 / Exchange Online Policies: Most IT administrators enable Defender for Office 365 filters

NaN goto (@nmnvzr) reported@marcelhaasIO @MaxBrodeurUrbas @satyanadella All my accounts use the same email and sometimes different passwords. The average user does not know he needs to save the credentials as “azure login”, “office 365 login”, “exchange admin login”. Dude it’s a mess.

Brian Teague 🐂 ⭕️ PBA 3 Berkeley (@undergroundlair) reported@Polymarket In all fairness to Microsoft, if the NASA Admin doesn’t set their Office 365 location to #outerfukingspace they might have an issue logging in.

Klavdij🇸🇮 (@klavdijm) reported@compliantvc If I were USA, I would shut down Instagram, whatsup, Viber, Facebook, Gmail, YouTube, OnlyFans, Office365, AWS, Google cloud, MS Azure, Netflix, even Cloudflare … for whole EU region. No problem, we have our own stuff, don’t we???

Manda'lor The War Crime (Huntress Era) (@Negative009th) reportedHey microslop! @Microsoft @Office @Office365 Why do you force users to sign in to use the supposedly free office apps on Android? #YouSlop #YouFlop

Sambath (@sambath47) reported@SayNoToTrading MSFT- Massive AI capex is weighing on the stock FCF is significantly down It’s AI push in office 365 and copilot are not generating needle moving revenues Let’s see if the chips can move the stock!! But still a high quality stock to buy

Occasional Opiner (@OccasionalOpie) reported@jimcramer $MSFT has now gone red. AI must be chowing down on Windows and Office 365.

FiendFix 🤔 (@FiendFix) reportedOffice 365 and that dumb *** cloud is ****** terrible and I wish nothing but the worse on anybody and everybody who created it.

Coco Freak (@Coco_the_freak) reportedSo aparrently, the „Smart“ App Control from #Microsoft in the #Windows „Security“-Settings blocks you from installing #office365 … and you have to PERMANENTLY shut off that „Security Feature“ to fix this issue … fml why did i go into IT-Support 🙈😭
-
zedaking (@zeda_king) reported@KingDamilotun XLOOKUP (This only works on latest version of excel like Office 365 and has inbuilt error msg) INDEX-MATCH (works on older version of Excel, but more complex to write. The downside here is that you'd have to wrap it in an IFERROR function to return an error msg)
-
ph33x (@ph33x_) reported@ChadBurgessAU @FranMooMoo They are using Government-spec Office 365, it will have audit logs. Every thing action down to a message on Teams or viewing a folder in OneDrive us logged. The user, the location, the action, metadata.

Marco Aurélio (@marcrygamerbr) reported@Marcelo_gsf_ @davepl1968 @ObnoxiousFumes2 I have invented office365 before microsoft creating a xen server with word, powerpoint, visio and excel hahahaaha, my only windows install
-
NancoixSeattle (@operakatz) reported@OrevaZSN Why would anyone be trying to edit a PDF in Word? Edit it in Acrobat, where it belongs. And Word isn't a DTP app. Some of us know how to use it very well and don't have these issues. Not saying Office 365 isn't a hell hole, but at least use the right app for the job at hand

Bɛrima Yaw Poku 🧠👁️👂🏾 (@barimayawpoku) reported@davibaah @Mr_GeorgeAddo @NITAGhana They don’t even dedicated servers built and managed by the gov. let alone have infrastructure to protect sensitive and critical data… tweaa… imagine NITA ( the nation’s IT branch using subscription of office365). What happened to on-premise and dedicated exchange server?

DFIR Radar (@DFIR_Radar) reportedSilk Typhoon (HAFNIUM), a Chinese 🇨🇳 state APT, has evolved from on-prem Exchange exploitation to cloud-native supply chain attacks, most recently abusing CVE-2025-3928 in Commvault's Azure-hosted M365 backup SaaS to pivot into downstream customer tenants. - Initial access spans three vectors: CVE-2025-3928 (zero-day in Commvault Web Server, T1190), stolen API keys from privileged cloud vendors (T1195), and leaked corporate credentials found on public repos like GitHub (T1078.004). The Commvault campaign gave them client secrets for Metallic M365 backups, opening direct paths into customer M365 environments via hijacked service principals. - Lateral movement pivots from on-prem to cloud by targeting Entra Connect servers (T1210, T1078.002), enabling privilege sync between Active Directory and Entra ID. Credential dumping and key vault theft support pass-the-hash moves (T1550.002) into Azure. - Persistence relies on adding passwords to existing consented service principals or creating new Entra ID applications named to mimic legitimate Office 365 services (T1098.001, T1036). Web shells handle C2 on compromised Azure VMs (T1505.003). - Collection targets email via EWS and MSGraph APIs, plus SharePoint (T1213.002) and OneDrive (T1213.003), all through OAuth apps with admin consent, a low-noise, API-native exfiltration path that bypasses many endpoint controls. #DFIR_Radar

John Crickett (@johncrickett) reported@PrimeAeon @Doctorthe113 @DevLeaderCa curious if you are able to comment on the server load of Office 365.

Ed Andersen (@edandersen) reported@matvelloso Yes their attach rate to office 365 is not great but the entire company is behind it. It’s not being wound down

John Crickett (@johncrickett) reported"GitHub's scale is unprecedented." No, it really isn't. GitHub: 150M total users. Office 365: 345M total users. Xbox: 500M monthly active users. Bing: 100M+ daily active users. The company that runs Office, Xbox and Bing can run GitHub. If reliability is slipping, that's a priorities problem, not a scale problem.

🇵🇭Homoludens Pro Deluxe🏳️🌈🌏 (@a_space_alien) reportedYep this is what I’ve always known. Problem is that Microsoft keeps treating XBox as if it were Windows, Azure, Office 365 and all its other business & productivity products & services, where there’s no respect for games as entertainment, experience and as an art form. #HearYou

Microsoft Threat Intelligence (@MsftSecIntel) reportedMicrosoft Threat Intelligence has identified a cluster of compromised websites displaying ClickFix lures and using EtherHiding, a technique associated with the ClearFake campaign. An injected Base64-encoded JavaScript contacts a BNB Smart Chain RPC gateway to query a smart contract previously reported in connection with ClearFake to fetch next-stage instructions. Content stored in a smart contract is resistant to conventional takedown or sinkholing because only the owner of the cryptocurrency wallet that deployed it can make changes. Users are presented with a fake CAPTCHA that instructs them to open the Windows Run dialog, paste clipboard content, and press Enter to execute an attacker-supplied command under the guise of verification. We’re seeing multiple forms of command obfuscation and living-off-the-land abuse, including conhost, cmd, PowerShell, pcalua, mshta, rundll32, msiexec, curl, WMI, WebDAV, and scheduled tasks. Carets split keywords, environment variables hide interpreters, and Windows run headlessly or minimized. TerminalFix lures apply the same technique but direct users to Windows Terminal or PowerShell instead of the Run dialog. This campaign demonstrates that ClickFix and TerminalFix are a high-volume initial access technique. Microsoft reports campaigns targeting thousands of enterprise and consumer devices globally every day, while some malvertising chains can funnel visitors to scam pages. Numerous actors use the technique to deliver Lumma Stealer and other infostealers, RATs such as Xworm and AsyncRAT, loaders including MintsLoader, and remote management tools. A single successful execution can expose credentials, establish persistence, enable lateral movement, and create a path to human-operated ransomware and potential domain compromise. Microsoft recommends that organizations enable Microsoft Defender network, web, and cloud-delivered protection; restrict Run and command-line tools where not required; enable PowerShell script-block logging; and implement application control. Users should never paste commands from CAPTCHAs, browser errors, emails, ads, or unsolicited support pages into Run, Terminal, PowerShell, or Command prompt. Microsoft Defender XDR provides layered protection across the ClickFix attack chain. Defender SmartScreen and Defender for Office 365 help block malicious sites, links, attachments, and fake CAPTCHA lures, while Defender for Endpoint detects suspicious command execution and outbound connections through alerts like “Suspicious command in RunMRU registry”, “Possible ClickFix activity”, “Possible initial access from an emerging threat”. Microsoft Defender Antivirus blocks malicious command execution using detections such as Trojan:Win32/ClickFix.* and Trojan:Win32/TermFix.*. Treat these alerts as evidence of a potential initial access incident: isolate affected devices, investigate credential exposure and persistence, and hunt for related activity.

Lalith Kumar V (@lalitvlk) reported@AmazonHelp Please refund my money. Your Amazon team is not at all helping me regarding this issue. They are asking me to search the brand (office 365) in google and contact them. Amazon has sold a fake product. It’s your duty to refund me .

BORDERS LAW FIRM (@BordersLawFirm) reportedThis is insane, frustrating, and, frankly, pathetic on Microsoft's part! I am a law firm, trying to buy a Microsoft Copilot Business license. Just one $30 license for the law firm. Nope. Blocked. It's not available to my account on Office 365 Markeplace, inside my Admin account [I am the global admin] and the block seems to be due to some technical issue between MOSA and MCA accounts. I have business premium subscriptions. They are making it DIFFICULT to BUY their already market-trailing AI. Maybe I should just spend all the law firm's money on ANTHROPIC. Mircosoft, get your **** together! @Office @Copilot

Value Investor 💸 (@value_invest01) reported@CalebInvests_ Ackman bought $MSFT in Feb when it dipped and looked more compelling on valuation. He probably sees Microsoft as more "embedded" in enterprise, Office 365, Azure, Copilot with stickier revenue and better pricing power compared to $META, which is heavily tied to ad cycles and consumer attention. Wall Street isn’t missing anything big, it’s mostly about price and margin of safety. MSFT just offered a better entry at the time. I believe his entry was around $370 for $MSFT that was a great entry and it provided a great margin of safety. $META would need to go down into $450 area for same margin of safety $MSFT was at $370.

Bɛrima Yaw Poku 🧠👁️👂🏾 (@barimayawpoku) reported@elliot_solution Ah, na government communications and emails koraa are running on office365 na documents. They don’t even have on-premise exchange communication server managed in house for data control and security seff. Tweaaa

Anthony Peyton (@arpeyton) reported@12Knocksinna @Office365 I’m assuming that’s because this was used to create nested dynamic group membership that caused too many support issues?
