Microsoft fights 'email bombing' attacks with Office 365 security update

In a note regarding the new update, Microsoft wrote: "We're introducing a new detection capability in Microsoft Defender for Office 365 to help protect your organization from a growing threat known as email bombing. This form of abuse floods mailboxes with high volumes of email to obscure important messages or overwhelm systems. The new ‘Mail Bombing' detection will automatically identify and block these attacks, helping security teams maintain visibility into real threats."

Mail Bombing Detection will be available via Microsoft Defender for Office 365 soon, with the update starting to roll out in late June and completing its rollout by late July. The new feature will be enabled by default, so email bombing should start going straight to the trash.

Is Windows' Alt Tab shortcut broken for you? A rogue update is to blame

According to Windows Latest, the issues don't just stop at the popular productivity shortcut either. Other issues include mouse cursor lag, screen resolution issues, and difficulties adjusting volume.

KB5060829 is a preview update, which means it's optional to install and allows you to try out new features and improvements ahead of the general release. However, preview updates can have problems like this, so you shouldn't blindly install them on mission-critical PCs.

The update is supposed to be rolled out to all users in two weeks, so hopefully Microsoft fixes these issues in time. Until then, you should hold off on installing update KB5060829 to avoid these issues. Meanwhile, if you're affected, try rolling back the problematic update.
