Three contractors on the guest VLAN reported they were redirected to what looked like our M365 SSO page when opening a browser. Two of them entered credentials before the page redirected them to office.com. NOC noticed an extra DHCP server on the guest VLAN. The legitimate DHCP server (10.50.0.10) is still running, but a second OFFER is also being seen from an unknown MAC behind ACCESS-SW-21 port Gi1/0/14 — which is a public-area conference room jack. Please coordinate with NOC on this. The capture window is still active. — Helpdesk + NOC
