Hello! After starting to monitor the Windows Event Logs of our Exchange 2016 Server (hosted on prem), I see successful logins from Microsoft IP, using the server admin account and impersonating personal accounts (that's how I understand the below screenshot): ![72348-exchange-log.png][1] [1]: /api/attachments/72348-exchange-log.png?platform=QnA I see these kind of logins only for two local users from three different Microsoft IPs: 52.97.242.29, 52.97.242.85 and 52.97.243.125. Have we've been hacked or what Microsoft service gains access to our Exchange Server remotely and why? Since one of the local user is my own, I changed my AD password and I got immediately a failed login attempt from one of the Microsoft IPs. Any help is highly appreciated! Cheers, Ben
