Office 365 is a highly targeted application for hackers because it is widely deployed across industries. Okta’s security team commonly sees customers experiencing phishing, password spraying, KnockKnock and brute-force attacks, to name a few.

Office 365 uses several authentication methods and access protocols, but some of their authentication methods and legacy authentication protocols do not support Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in their authentication flow. Attackers know this and commonly abuse these vulnerabilities to compromise organisations.
