About

Identifies when an administrator has manually confirmed a user or sign-in as compromised in Microsoft Entra ID Protection. This indicates that an administrator has reviewed the risk detection and determined that the user account or sign-in activity is definitively compromised. This is a high-confidence indicator of account compromise and should be investigated immediately.
