Microsoft’s text, safely structuredUpdated October 6, 2025: We have updated the content. Thank you for your patience.
Coming soon for Microsoft Defender for Office 365: We are excited to announce the new CampaignInfo and FileMaliciousContentInfo data tables in Advanced hunting under Email & collaboration schema.

How this will affect your organization
The new tables will be available by default. SOC teams will be able to see two new data tables in Defender > Advanced hunting > Email & collaboration schema.
1. CampaignInfo
The CampaignInfo table in the Advanced hunting schema contains information about email campaigns identified by Defender for Office 365. The table will have this schema to help the security teams to investigate threats targeting their users and organization:
2. FileMaliciousContentInfo
The FileMaliciousContentInfo table in the Advanced hunting schema contains information about files that were processed by Defender for Office 365 in Microsoft SharePoint Online, Microsoft OneDrive, and Microsoft Teams. The table will have this schema to help the security teams to investigate threats targeting their users and organization:
Here are a few sample queries to get you started:

| where CampaignType has "Phish"
| project NetworkMessageId, RecipientEmailAddress, CampaignName, CampaignId, CampaignType
