description: The following analytic identifies when an O365 email account sends an excessive number of email attachments to external recipients within a short period (within 1 hour). This behavior may indicate a compromised account where the threat actor is attempting to exfiltrate data from the mailbox. Threat actors may attempt to transfer data through email as a simple means of exfiltration from the compromised mailbox. Some account owner legitimate behaviors can trigger this alert, however these actions may not be aligned with organizational expectations / best practice behaviors.
