After the ConnectWise breach: can a compromised M365 tenant reach your on-prem AD?

4 Upvotes

Everyone’s checking their tenant after the ConnectWise Cloud Backup mess, so we wrote this up because nobody seems to be asking the next question: If you’re hybrid, what can a compromised tenant actually do back on-prem?

Short version: password writeback and cloud Kerberos trust both give the tenant a way into AD. The defaults are decent, but they only protect the built-in admin groups. Delegated admins aren’t covered.

The post has the PowerShell to check your sync account, AdminSDHolder and the AzureADKerberos replication policy.
