Microsoft says its Outlook desktop client is suffering serious “email visibility issues” today, with a fix yet to be rolled out. Users have reported either whole emails missing, chunks of data gone, or just seeing the first line of messages.
Folks can use the web or mobile client of Outlook, or the Windows desktop client in safe mode. Otherwise, you re out of luck for the next few hours. We’re investigating an issue with email message visibility in Outlook. Outlook on the web appears to be unaffected, the Windows giant said a couple of hours ago.

On Tuesday, May 11, Microsoft announced that there was a bug that recently appeared in Outlook. The known issue has brought frustrations to desktop and Microsoft 365 users.
According to the Redmond company, users have been experiencing the sudden disappearance of an email text when they typed them in the display. Other reports pointed out that they were receiving empty emails that only bore a message space.
What could be the solution to this recent issue?

According to a report by Digital Trends, Microsoft advised its users to restart their Outlook client so the problem could be immediately fixed. However, the tech giant reminded them that some instances require a second restart to make some changes for the bug fix.
On 2021-02-28, we noticed that the vulnerabilities were used by other threat actors, starting with Tick and quickly joined by LuckyMouse, Calypso and the Winnti Group. This suggests that multiple threat actors gained access to the details of the vulnerabilities before the release of the patch, which means we can discard the possibility that they built an exploit by reverse engineering Microsoft updates.
Finally, the day after the release of the patch, we started to see many more threat actors (including Tonto Team and Mikroceen) scanning and compromising Exchange servers en masse. Interestingly, all of them are APT groups interested in espionage, except for one outlier (DLTMiner), which is linked to a known cryptomining campaign. A summary of the timeline is shown in Figure 1.
