No details of how the account was compromised, but for one of the worlds largest tech companies, I'm surprised they didn't have multiple factor authentication.

Hard to say if that was involved or not or how much role it might have played.

🙄 thousands of companies use it. Including the company I work for with 25,000 users. but yeah few people use it.

Are you talking about Outlook or Outlook.com? Many companies use Outlook.

They use hosted outlook.com for their email. I work for a very large company and it's what we use. Many companies are moving away from exchange server.

Many companies, large and small, use Office 365. I don't know of any that use Outlook.com.
