Incident detail (2026-03-27 DF-JOEL2 compromise, attacker IPs, IC3, etc.) lives in [[project_dataforth_history]] — read on-demand.

## Email infrastructure

Dataforth's email runs on **Microsoft 365** (`sysadmin@dataforth.com`, tenant in vault at `clients/dataforth/m365.sops.yaml`).

**Don't confuse with `neptune.acghosting.com`** (`67.206.163.124`) — that Exchange entry in `clients/dataforth/neptune-exchange.sops.yaml` is **ACG-side infrastructure, not Dataforth's**. Do not use it for Dataforth email workflows.

**Send via Graph (SMTP basic auth is disabled):**
- Preferred: Microsoft Graph `POST /v1.0/users/sysadmin@dataforth.com/sendMail` with a client_credentials token.
- Alt: XOAUTH2 over SMTP.
- Entra app in vault at `clients/dataforth/m365.sops.yaml` under `credentials.entra-app`. Verify `Mail.Send` application permission is granted before use.

## Contacts

- **AJ (Dataforth):** messages to `dataforthgit@` need to forward to AJ. (Forwarding setup TBD — verify status.)

## MFA / CA posture

3 Conditional Access policies enforced **2026-04-04** across the tenant (deployed report-only after the 2026-03-27 incident, then promoted):
- Require MFA (skip from office IP `67.206.163.122`)
- Block foreign sign-ins (US only; `MFA-Travel-Bypass` group for exceptions)
- Block legacy auth

Status as of MFA rollout: 19/38 users were MFA-ready at enforcement; the rest registered before the deadline.
