[engine]

Microsoft has said some outlook.com users had their accounts hacked, but login details weren't stolen. It's currently notifying users that were affected.

The software giant discovered that a support agent’s credentials were compromised for its web mail service, allowing unauthorized access to some accounts between January 1st and March 28th, 2019. Microsoft says the hackers could have viewed account email addresses, folder names, and subject lines of emails, but not the content of emails or attachments.

This was limited to the Hotmail/Outlook.com accounts fortunately. If we had seen this affecting the Enterprise market that could have been catastrophic.
