Hello,

Recently, we are experiencing a lot of user accounts being automatically disable by Microsoft Defender for Identity when they authenticated by Exchange Online. Somehow, Defender think the user's accounts being attacked, and just disabled users account. We are not able to pinpoint the policy which cause this issue.

Any suggestion on how to fix this issue is greatly appreciated.
