What is this Identity Protection | Ricky users in Azure?

We are using MS Azure. In this cloud, we have the AAD Connect on OnPrem DC to sync to Azure AD for all the domain user accounts. Recently, a user feedback that he has this notification as attached Azure - Ricky Users.docx


What is this Identity Protection | Risky Users? What can we do with it? any follow-up actions needed by the user?

What was the reason the user was classed as a risky user? i.e. using an vpn anonoymizer?

Your attached document is "locked", so no way to read it.

1) What is this Identity Protection | Risky Users?

Whatever you determine as your policy.

2) What can we do with it?

For me, I have many rules.

1x example, anyone with a failed ssh/wordpress/other login with 5x user or password failures from the same 1x IP, over any 24x period, that IP is blocked for 1x hour.

3) any follow-up actions needed by the user?

Er... who cares... if the user is "risky", they're almost surely a hacker.

Normal users rarely exhibit "risky" behavior.

If they do, after they're blocked for a few hours, they generally open an issue ticket + you can tell them how to adjust their behavior... like... stop logging in with a bad password or you will be blocked...

Hi all,

Checked further and found this log - Azure - Ricky User.docx

Date:           12/4/2021 6:08:31 PM
Activity:         Unfamiliar sign-in properties
Actor:           Azure-AD
Risk State:  At Risk
Level:           High

Not only this user, but quite a few of users having the same risk notification.

I don't think we apply any rules, just the default.
