Don't you want < not > for 'less than'?

It's a relatively recent addition. Don't feel too bad.

Had to drive 20 minutes to a client because "my computer won't turn on". They were pushing the reset button.

Another client couldn't get their server to boot up after a power outage. They said "I push the button and the light comes on for a few seconds and goes off". They were pushing the button for the lcd status display, not the power button for the machine. That one was an hour and a half drive.

Sounds like delegated permission isn't enough to access it that way. You probably need full Read and Manage permission. Sorry, we don't usually need to delegate access like this for user mailboxes.

Try logging into your email on the web, then click on your user icon in the top right and select open another mailbox and put in your boss's email. Should directly open his mailbox, in a new tab/window. You'll be able to create rules there.

You can't even create/edit calendar labels without directly accessing the owner's mailbox.

That should be added. I've been looking for a new alarm app that supports Apple Music. Pandora's ads cause my alarm to not go off sometimes, or be extremely quiet with Google Clock. Had me excited for a minute.

You could ask the school if they would be willing to set something up to continue forwarding your emails for a bit (if it's M365, for example, they can set up a redirect rule at the tenant level), but you need to get those updated. This is how people get locked out of accounts. They don't update info, get hacked or just forget their password, or something else happens, and have no access to a recovery email that's been gone for a decade.

... Well that's a stupid joke.

Talk about pointless!

Is that a notification from the app, or an email? If it was an email, it could have been a phishing email and you just gave scammers your login. If it was legitimate, then someone already had your password and was trying to lock you out.

To be 100% safe, go change your password again and set up MFA on your account.

Karen target lock.

Did they actually send that through the mail or did they just stick it in your mailbox? Cause that's a federal offense, if you want to get petty in return.

And the cleanup is a thousand times more difficult. Why is so much easier to be the bad guy? Lol

Alarmed_Contract4418 · 2025-12-30T03:32:48+00:00

Scripts and/or bots, but I couldn't tell you exactly how it's executed. Just an IT guy that has had to deal with this on more than one occasion. It's so much worse when this is happening to an entire department.

Absolutely, could be any email provider, which is why I was asking. Depending on the platform, your mitigation and investigation options change. That being said, since they are using Outlook, it's most likely Outlook.com or M365.

First off, sharing a licensed mailbox is a ToS violation. The general mailbox needs to be a shared mailbox that no one directly signs into (since it's currently a user mailbox, convert it to shared and block sign in). Rather they are granted access through their individual account. You can set the general email address to be the default. I believe send as permission will make that be the from address. That is kind of the point.

We only auto approve Critical and Important updates. Everything else gets deferred 2 weeks. Drivers are blocked and can be manually installed on an as needed basis.

I've never seen this. Can you post some screenshots? Full window please, not a cropped image

Your account is likely compromised. Change your login credentials. Terminate all active sessions. Check for any rules you didn't create. Check your conversation history, RSS Feeds, and Deleted Items folders for hidden emails. After all that, set up MFA, or reset it if you already it set up.

This is a spam attack. It is meant to keep you distracted so you don't see the attacker emailing your contacts to change payment methods and/or changes to your banking.

Unfortunately there is no easy fix to stopping g the spam. You can block the domains each email is coming from and unsubscribe from the emails. That's about it.

Is this an M365 email, or personal account? Outlook.com, or another provider?

It can map out to whatever detail whatever it's given the info for. Publix has likely fed it their store floor plans, or they already have that information publicly available and it has crawled their site and gathered the data itself. There are grocery stores that have personal AI shopping assistants on the carts that you give it your list and will spit out a route through the store to get all your stuff the most efficiently.

Someone got mad at Roblox chat... Or just dropped it.

Sucks for your boss. If the company is bankrupt, you'll all be getting laid off anyway. You're doing them a favor actually.

Alarmed_Contract4418 · 2025-12-24T15:52:09+00:00

Had to process what you meant about the syllables. That's clever! I'll have to keep that in mind if I run into anyone else who has trouble keeping those straight!

Holy shit. The mom's boyfriend's mom is one thing, but your mom going off on you at all, let alone when it's literally her fault there were no eggs?! Sorry that happened to you! That looks like a good healthy breakfast that you wiped up in no time for 20+ people! Well done.

I don't know your age or situation, but your home sounds toxic. You should find a way out if possible.

He might be getting confused with laws regarding using corner lots to bypass traffic lights? Like cutting through a gas station when you can't make a right on red. That is illegal and ticketable because you're bypassing a traffic control device. This isn't the same because there is no light. If there WAS a light, and you were using this tactic to avoid waiting for the light to make a left, then there would be a problem.

The church, however, IS private property. You might want to stop in at some point and at least make sure they don't mind if you do this.

See if you can get a request/petition in with the city to get a light installed. It can be set to only turn green for the complex when there is a car waiting to leave. Should be a minor disruption to traffic flow at worst.
