Microsoft faces fresh security scrutiny as scam emails abuse internal accounts and AI ambitions expand

Scammers have been abusing an internal Microsoft email address to send spam links, using an account that normally delivers legitimate alerts such as two-factor authentication codes. The emails appear to have been sent from msonlineservicesteam@microsoftonline.com, and Microsoft does not yet appear to have resolved the issue. The pattern has been going on for months, making the fake messages look more plausible to recipients. techcrunch.com

That security problem lands as Microsoft is also pushing harder into AI enterprise work. Microsoft and EY announced a new global initiative backed by more than $1 billion over five years to scale AI deployment across business functions, while Microsoft’s own blog says the company sees execution, trust, and secure governance as the key to moving from pilots to enterprise impact. news.microsoft.com blogs.microsoft.com

At the same time, Microsoft is shipping new product updates and fixes across its ecosystem. Visual Studio Code 1.121 adds remote agents preview support, new model configurability, Mermaid diagram rendering, and HTML file previews, while Microsoft also acknowledged a broken Outlook issue that prevents images from displaying correctly in emails, newsletters, and signatures. neowin.net neowin.net
