Office 365 Issues Reports

  Microsoft's Empire Continues to Crumble Microsoft has 450 million Office 365 users. Their flagship AI product, Copilot, has converted just 3.3% of them into paying customers. The stock is down 12 to 15 percent year-to-date, and their CFO recently circulated an internal memo calling for a “tighter” organization moving at an “increased pace.” That is corporate code for one thing: more people may be about to lose their jobs. The question I keep coming back to is this: what happens when the company that built the modern office, the one that owns your email, spreadsheets, calendar, documents, and most of your work life, starts losing its grip on the one product it bet everything on? And what does it mean when Anthropic walks directly into Microsoft’s living room, right inside Word, Excel, and Outlook, and starts doing the job better than Microsoft itself? Is the world’s most powerful tech titan actually running on fumes? What if the $13 billion bet that was supposed to secure Microsoft’s future is becoming the weight that drags it down? Why are internal memos suddenly demanding a faster, tighter organization while their flagship software struggles under the weight of its own updates? OpenAI is projecting staggering losses, Microsoft’s stock just took a major hit, and the “exclusive” moat they thought they had is starting to disappear. So the real question is: is Microsoft still an innovator, or has it become a market-paralyzing giant that has lost its way? Today, we’re looking past the marketing and into the data to see why the pillars are starting to crack.

  @FurkanGozukara I stopped giving money to companies I can't call. In July 2024, Microsoft expected me to go a month without email. I don't own a cell phone, email is my communication with the world. I cancelled Office 365, moved my mx records for my domain and went down to $1.50 a month.

  Did you know that personal devices can become gateways for corporate data breaches? A recent case revealed a malware attack that accessed Office 365 through a compromised BYOD. The fix? Continuous monitoring and behavior analysis! How secure is your work device? #CyberSecurity

  Microsoft Threat Intelligence (@MsftSecIntel) reported 6 minutes ago

  Microsoft 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.

  @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 .

  @WindowsCentral Because...consumer. No human support option on first contact. Only AI, Forums & Forms. Automated responses. It's the same issue as consumer Office 365 user. If you run in a serious problem as data loss or exchange issues, you're screwed. Only commercial customer get a minimum

  @BadalK99277 No. Windows is only still relevant because of entrenchment. Active Directory, Windows Server, Office365, Azure, all are relevant only because of entrenchment. If all software that only runs on Windows could run on Linux, then there would be no need for Windows.

  @pitdesi Yeah I was there was there for 2 years at the Mountain View campus one of them being the year he took over as CEO (2014) before moving to Apple in Cupertino. At the time many folks in the company didn’t like how he was deprioritizing a lot of Windows stuff like Windows phone and prioritizing Azure/Cloud and Office 365 running well on mobile (iOS, Android) and web. He was the head of Azure before becoming CEO so not too surprising imo. Also the switch to use Linux for networking layer OS software stack in Azure data centers over Windows Server and wearing the infamous “Microsoft Heart Linux” T-Shirt. All of which were clearly the right moves now but at the time in various lunch room discussions there was a lot of dissent and people thinking he would fail. But now all those dissenters seem to pretend he played no role in Microsoft’s comeback which is amusing. But since I saw it happening first hand and in real time I knew otherwise. I was a skeptic too because I had been raised culturally with the same biases and prejudice that Asians (using Asian in the broad U.S. Census definition) can’t make successful innovative decisions and thus can’t be good CEOs, sadly my own parents use to think that which shows the colonial mindset (even Malaysia was a former British colony) but clearly now we know that’s not 100% true with various success stories. It depends on the individual as it always has. I’m sure there are plenty of bad Indian ethnicity CEOs as there are from any ethnic group in the world, But Nadella is probably one of the overall best CEOs in the world of any race or ethnicity.

  @codewith55 Your first step for a new Windows computer is not what to install, but what to uninstall. 1) OneDrive 2) MS-Account (use local login) 3) Copilot 4) Office365 5) Manufacturer & MS Bloatware. Then start your installs. 1) A real browser (Brave, Firefox) 2) LibreOffice 3) VLC

  @yonann partly true. I work corp IT. A good part of my users whould be fine with a snapdragon chromebook. But they get tier Ryzen 9 or I7 . All their work in in office365 and chrome. and this year our standard low spec model we issue increased in price 50%.

  Office 365 has been priced at $6 per inbox for over a decade and during that time it has never turned a profit. I'm almost sure that means it's impossible. Normally you would shut down an unprofitable line of business but the military insists it is necessary for war effort.

  Either this guy is deliberately being a hypocrite or he's woefully uninformed. Hard to believe people like this exist with zero knowledge about how the real world works. For my Canadian people EVerything in Canada runs on American tech Your iPhone/iPad/Mac -> American Your Android/PC -> American Majority of the things you interact with -> American Google, X, Claude, Codex/OpenAI, Instagram, Facebook, SnapChat, Office 365 (word, excel etc) Majority of Government infrastructure runs on Azure, AWS, GCP and leverages IBM, Deloitte and other big 4 for consulting. Fix that **** first - i.e. find alternatives (good luck btw) then the virtue signaling would make sense. Until then you people complaining sound like a bunch of ill informed cucks.

  @esrtweet I think Excel is the grand bottleneck, or was last I checked. Imagine trying to switch a bank, say your local credit union, over to LibreOffice or any of the StarOffice lineage. Doable in principle, but realistically all the macros are broken (the version of BASIC differs from Excel) and the median banker doesn't have muscle memory for the new keyboard shortcuts anyway. You can obviously use Office 365 from a browser, but you lose access to some features (again, last I checked) and it's still Microsoft. Linux is absolutely fine for everything I use it for. The problem is mostly just lack of attention on things that people who have already adopted it don't themselves need. Window Manager wise, there are several where it's hard to tell the difference between that and Windows or MacOS (or the difference is ~entirely good things).

  @geoffreytung @VJNCapital Corporate contracts aren’t my argument. Azure, Windows, Office 365, GitHub, AI infrastructure and massive R&D spending are. Xbox being behind PlayStation in some areas doesn’t make Microsoft technologically inferior as a whole. That’s a category error.
