Microsoft is investigating an ongoing Exchange Online issue, starting February 5, where an updated URL rule incorrectly flags legitimate emails as phishing and quarantines them, disrupting normal email flow for some customers. The company is actively releasing quarantined messages, reviewing and correcting URL detections, and has acknowledged prior similar false-positive incidents while working toward full remediation and an estimated resolution timeline.
