Does InTune have some sort of check that goes "if over 1% of devices are wiped within a certain timeframe, stop all new device wipe requests"? Seems like it should be a feature, especially if these kinda attacks pick up.

This raises the question: Are mass layoffs less frequent than a company's MS administrator account getting hacked?
Question the concept of mass layoffs?
Everything is obvious in hindsight

And to be clear, SCCM and Intune is a gun.

MS will not stop you from blowing your foot off with the gun.

Remember https://www.itprotoday.com/windows-7/aggressive-configmgr-ba... ?

>During TechEd 2014, Emory University's IT department prepared and deployed Windows 7 upgrades to the campuses computers. If you've worked with ConfigMgr at all, you know that there are checks-and-balances that can be employed to ensure that only specifically targeted systems will receive an OS upgrade. In Emory University's case, the check-and-balance method failed and instead of delivering the upgrade to applicable computers, delivered Windows 7 to ALL computers including laptops, desktops, and even servers.

That ANY kind of config change should be rate-limited has been pretty obvious and hammered on in SRE manuals for at least 10 years.
And who sets the limits? MS? What if a company WANTS to wipe their entire fleet?
Require dual sign off
"Call support so they can turn off the safeties for an hour."
You can set dual authorization for resets, wipes, and deletes. Normally CISA would pipe in with this kind of guidance. Anyone know what they’re up to now?
