Officedocs-deployoffice: I just blocked bing.com for the entire organization

[jcampbellburns]

This is due to malware (defined as any software which, among other things, installs browser extensions without approval) pointing to this website.

Also, I'll be reevaluating our continued used of Office365 in light of this. LibreOffice and Google Docs both don't automatically install browser extensions which override default browser behavior.

I agree it’s Absolute stupidity from Microsoft, this needs to be stopped. As users we have a right of choice, I do not choose bing because I personally prefer another search provider, this is a disgrace and will take weeks to resolve as many clients don’t have group policy.

Thirded. DNS block ahoy.

Microsoft closed this ticket without addressing the concern.
