Business Email Compromise via Azure Administrative Privileges | Huntress
Huntress detected and prevented a business email compromise attack that exploited Azure administrative privileges to target multiple user accounts in an organization. The incident demonstrates how attackers can leverage cloud identity systems to gain unauthorized email access at scale. Huntress' detection capabilities were key to stopping the compromise before significant damage occurred.
Why it matters: Organizations using Azure are at risk of BEC attacks through compromised admin accounts; security teams should audit privileged account access and implement conditional access policies to prevent unauthorized email access.
