This query helps in reviewing top policies for user overrides (Allow/Block)
As described in previous guidance, Nobelium may re-purpose legitimate existing OAuth Applications in the environment to their own ends. However, malicious activity patterns may be discernable from legitimate ones.
The following query returns OAuth Applications that access mail both directly and via Graph, allowing review of whether such dual access methods follow expected use patterns.

'Identifies when multiple (more than one) users mailboxes are configured to forward to the same destination.
This could be an attacker-controlled destination mailbox configured to collect mail from multiple compromised user accounts.'
This could be an attacker-controlled destination mailbox configured to collect mail from multiple compromised user accounts.'
This query helps you review all OAuth applications accessing user mail via Graph. It could return a significant number of results depending on how many applications are deployed in the environment.

'This hunting query looks for hosts exporting a mailbox from an on-prem Exchange server, followed by
that same host removing the export within a short time window. This pattern has been observed by attackers
when exfiltrating emails from a target environment. A Mailbox export is unlikely to be a common command run so look for
activity from unexpected hosts and accounts.

Hunting for credential phishing using the "Referral" infrastructure using Defender for Office 365 data
This query correlates Microsoft Defender for Office 365 signals and Microsoft Entra ID identity data to find the relevant endpoint event BrowerLaunchedToOpen in Microsoft Defender ATP.
This event reflects relevant clicks on the malicious URL in the spear-phishing email recognized by Microsoft Defender for Office 365.

The MailItemsAccessed action is part of the new Advanced Audit functionality of Microsoft Defender XDR. It's part of Exchange mailbox auditing and is enabled by default for users that have an Office 365 or Microsoft 365 E5 license, or for organizations with a Microsoft 365 E5 Compliance add-on subscription.
If more than 1,000 MailItemsAccessed audit records are generated in less than 24 hours, Exchange Online will stop generating auditing records for MailItemsAccessed activity. When a mailbox is throttled, MailItemsAccessed activity will not be logged for 24 hours after the mailbox was throttled. If this occurs, there's a potential that mailbox could have been compromised during this period. The recording of MailItemsAccessed activity will be resumed following a 24-hour period.
The query is looking for MailItemsAccessed Throttling events where the operation is done by a ClientApplication.
See The MailItemsAccessed mailbox auditing action.

Use this query to find email stealing activities ran by Qakbot that will use "ping.exe -t 127.0.0.1" to obfuscate subsequent actions.
Email theft that occurs might be exfiltrated to operators and indicates that the malware completed a large portion of its automated activity without interruption.
