What happened
This Microsoft Security Blog collection (May 18–22, 2026) highlights several high-impact security topics and investigations: Microsoft was named a Forrester Wave leader for workforce identity security. A detailed incident describes a multi-stage Linux intrusion that began with an exposed F5 BIG‑IP edge appliance and pivoted to an internal Confluence server for credential theft, including attempted Kerberos relay and lateral movement that Microsoft Defender detected and disrupted. The “Mini Shai Hulud” supply‑chain compromise involved malicious @antv npm packages that execute during npm install
