2023-07: Hackers stole a Microsoft Azure Active Directory certificate which gave them full access to basically all Microsoft cloud services including Outlook, Office, SharePoint, Teams, "Login with Microsoft", and so forth. (MS blog entry, Source, German source)
With the default logs, customers could not even detect intruders as you would need to pay extra to get access to those log files.
Microsoft did not communicate which services were affected and which not.
Any Microsoft cloud service was potentially compromised.
Most probably, the usual "any compromised system needs to be thrown away and re-created from scratch will not be applied here. As a consequence, you can't trust any data from Microsoft services any more.
Security experts like Mike Kuketz think that most probably we need to consider all Microsoft systems that are using their cloud authentication including all Windows hosts are compromised.
According to this German source, Microsoft is still refusing to tell what happened and which systems are affected to what extend.
2023-08-18: German comment: Many similar comments like that underline that Microsoft disqualifies as a trustworthy partner.
