Many administrators have had a trying Monday after getting spammed out with false malware reports by Microsoft.<\/p>\n

In the last hour the Microsoft 365 service center put out an alert on Xitter, oddly, even before sending out the customary 365 Service Alert email, users complained. Others pointed out that the issue was flagged up on reddit more than two hours before Microsoft got around to alerting customers.<\/p>\n

“We’re investigating an issue in which some users’ email messages may be incorrectly flagged as malware and quarantined. More info can be found in the admin center under EX873252,” Microsoft posted<\/a>.<\/p>\n
