Blocking *.bin Files in EOP can cause block of Office Documents

Hi All,

I just want to write a short Blog Article about Exhange Online Protection (EOP) Malware Filter regarding the *.bin Attachments.

Just be aware, that when Adding Linked or Embedded Objects in Office Documents (like PowerPoint), the Objects are added as *.bin Objects and might be catched by the Malware Filter.

If you rename the *.pptx or add *.zip at the end you can open in with Windows Explorer or any other ZIP Tool.
