Rulename | Distributed Password cracking attempts in Microsoft Entra ID |
Description | Identifies distributed password cracking attempts from the Microsoft Entra ID SigninLogs. The query looks for unusually high number of failed password attempts coming from multiple locations for a user account. References: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/reports-monitoring/reference-sign-ins-error-codes 50053 Account is locked because the user tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect user ID or password. 50055 Invalid password, entered expired password. 50056 Invalid or null password - Password does not exist in store for this user. 50126 Invalid username or password, or invalid on-premises username or password. |
