The article discusses the recent hijacking of the old Microsoft Stream domain, which is now used to send spam advertisements to SharePoint sites that have yet to migrate their embedded videos. Following the announcement of the discontinuation of the classic Microsoft Stream service in April 2023, it appears that the domain has changed ownership to an entity disguised as 'Comlaude'. Recent spam threats have surfaced, prompting Microsoft to be aware and respond, although specifics on their actions remain undisclosed.
The recent misuse of the old Microsoft Stream domain for spamming has raised concerns over cybersecurity, particularly affecting SharePoint sites with untransferred embedded videos.
Microsoft discontinued its classic Stream service in April 2023, urging users to migrate their videos to SharePoint before the domain was hijacked for spamming purposes.
A recent WHOIS check indicates the microsoftstream.com domain is no longer under Microsoft’s control, having been repurposed to display fake ads on unupgraded SharePoint sites.
Microsoft has acknowledged the use of the old domain for spam and has reportedly taken action, although specific details of these measures remain unclear.
