Here is the report (pdf) – (archived)
Oasis Security’s research team uncovered a critical vulnerability in Microsoft’s Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) implementation, allowing attackers to bypass it and gain unauthorized access to the user’s account, including Outlook emails, OneDrive files, Teams chats, Azure Cloud, and more. Microsoft has more than 400 million paid Office 365 seats, making the consequences of this vulnerability far-reaching.
The bypass was simple: it took around an hour to execute, required no user interaction and did not generate any notification or provide the account holder with any indication of trouble.

Wait until an internal leak reveals how this was a self-backdoored/malware vulnerability.
I will probably get down voted for this comment (because conspiracy?) but in a few years we will see a lot a pikachu faced memes about it. Can’t wait to laugh my ass off.
There’s no reason to self-backdoor the authentication mechanism if you already have access to the account’s data. Also it sounds like you are very smart.
Uhhhg… Why so offensive? I’m just saying that if you trust a multi billion dollar company, your trust is in the wrong place.
If you are privacy conscious and have to deal with Microsoft’s services because your workplace doesn’t know better… I feel sorry for you.
