A typical tactic after a business email compromise event is the creation of email forwarding rules using any one, or more, of these methods by an attacker:
– Use rules in Outlook Web App to automatically forward messages to another account
– Sweep
It is therefore good practice to regularly check and verify the email forwarding rules inside your Microsoft 365 environment.
I have created a free PowerShell script exactly for this purpose, which you can find here:
Office365/o365-exo-fwd-chk.ps1 at master · directorcia/Office365 · GitHub
and the video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oqk_yd6U3bk&t=16s
will provide a walk through of its execution.

Once you have set up your PowerShell environment the next thing is to use it to connect to Microsoft 365 services like Exchange Online and Teams.
I have created several free automation scripts at:
https://github.com/directorcia
to make that process easy.
In this video, I’ll walk you through the steps of using what I have created to make it simple to connect to any Microsoft 365 service using PowerShell quickly and easily.

Keeping all your PowerShell modules up to date for Microsoft 365 is easy using the process in this video along with the free script I provide here:
https://github.com/directorcia/Office365/blob/master/o365-update.ps1
Simply use the script, with elevated privileges, and you can automatically update all the modules. If you then save the script locally, you can use an option to prompt you for each update if you wish.

Watch out for next month’s webinar.
This video will show you the process of setting up PowerShell on a new clean Windows 10 environment to support working with Microsoft 365. Basically, you grab my free set up script here –
https://github.com/directorcia/Office365/blob/master/o365-setup.ps1
and paste that into an elevated PowerShell window and run it. The required PowerShell cloud modules will then be installed into your environment, making it ready to connect to Microsoft 365, Azure, Intune, etc.
