Phishing & Fraud

Due to a wave of phishing attacks utilizing Microsoft 365 in early 2021,[5] Microsoft uses algorithms to automatically detect and block phishing attempts with Microsoft Forms.[6] Also, Microsoft advises Forms users not to submit personal information, such as passwords, in a form or survey, and also place a similar advisory underneath the “Submit” button in every form created with Forms, warning users not to give out their password.[7]
