False-Positive , Office365 Sharepoint marked as Phishing in Content-Filter

Currently the Office365 Sharepoint Node dual-spo-0003.spo-msedge.net (Switzerland) is being marked as phishing.

This stopped one of our customer of over 40 People to access their Sharepoint Data since early morning.

Other SPO Nodes are not being marked. This probably happened, because somebody tried to use the Office365 Sharepoint plattform to deploy some kind of malware/virus ect…

Please investigate this.

Sincerely

    same at one of our customers that are using ATP800: they were not able to use their sharepoint 365 resources

    same with ATP200, do you have a solution? whitelisting, disabling phishing category etc does not change anything.. Our custormers are still not able to connect to their office365 filedata

    Same error on various ATP 200s. Bypass *.sharepoint.com in the URL and DNS Threat Filter exclude and then clear the cache via the Web CLI of the firewall. After that, access works again. (This is only an emergency solution!)

    Hi, how can I clear the cache?

    be careful whitelisting all sharepoint.com, it would be safer to whitelist only your own "customername".sharepoint.com cause there are a lot of phishing campaigns that run with compromised sharepoint.com link inside

    Hello @LukeCC @KS1983 @morezh @leop800

    Is it also categorized as phishing? we receive several reports like this but some of them are recovered and recategorized as Interactive Web Applications.
    Please check if the issue persists, if so, please provide the SharePoint URL and the blocked log, thank you.

    We added an exception for customername.sharepoint.com as well as dual-spo-0003.spo-msedge.net to the Content-Filter ⇒ Trusted Websites, DNS-Content-Filter ⇒ Allow List, Reputation Filter ⇒ Allow List (IP of the DNS Entry), DNS-Thread Filter ⇒ Allow-List, and URL-Threat Filter ⇒ Allow List

    After this we rebootet the ATP500 as well as our internal DNS Server, becuase the DNS Entry was still pointing at the wrong ip/ the Zyxel Warning Server instead of the normal ip.

    The IP-Reputation Filter still marked the IP as malicious so i updated the Signatures by hand this early morning. (1.0.0.20230515.0)

    Now the URL dual-spo-0003.spo-msedge.net is identified as:

    By Content-Filter: Content-Server
    HTTPS: Domain Filter: Content-Server
    URL Threat Filter: Not Found
    IP-Reputation: Neutral
    DNS-Threat Filter: Not Found

    To me it looks resolved with the newest Signatures.
