I've seen two attacks recently where Microsoft365 credentials were exposed 
and a user's account used to send phishing emails. They set up a filter that 
routed any email with their subject line to the Deleted Items folder.

They were monitoring that folder and replying to emails in realtime.

I got an email with a pdf of an invoice, sent by our accounting person. I 
replied back and got a nebulous response. Walked over to the sender and 
asked the question. She hadn't sent the invoice of responded to me. We found 
hundreds of emails in her deleted items folder and dozens of responses in 
Sent Mail.
