Curious if any other O365 shops are seeing a spike in phishing emails that use a compromised Hotmail account to send a 
OneDrive link.

The attacker also uses some sort of fake IT sender, but the body of the message often has a signature block or other 
information from a senior university person with some sort of higher ed content.
