Sh4mefulIP Address: 104.47.70.100 ⚠ IP Confounder
Exchange Online Protection (EOP) is a cloud-based email filtering service included with all Microsoft 365 subscriptions to protect against spam, malware, and phishing attacks. It automatically secures mailboxes by filtering incoming and outgoing messages in real-time using anti-spam, anti-malware, and content filters. During periods of active campaign activity, these can largely be ignored (esp. when recipients are on Exchange). However, forged emails have been observed from Microsoft infrastructure that have this signature too.
Differentiating between Office 365, including email protection services, and Azure (public cloud) when diagnosing incidents is challenging because they utilize shared Microsoft-owned IP ranges. Most of this is probably O365/Outlook or Defender protection breaking DKIM and SPF authentication. Disambiguation is a work-in-progress.
