While I totally understand why Microsoft is pushing off the due date for disabling basic authentication in their Office 365 platform/Exchange online I would recommend anyone using any sort of email platform these days (or online banking or anything online these days) to add multi factor authentication to anything you use online. The attackers go after the weak links, weak passwords, reused passwords and you need to be aware of the attacks out there.

Clearly COVID-19 is having a big impact.
