Updated November 2, 2023: We have updated the content below to show as intended. Thank you for your patience.
Soon, you will be able to block URLs based on their top-level domain using block entries in the Tenant Allow Block List. You can create entries in the Microsoft 365 Defender portal or PowerShell, using the format “*./*”, where can be any top-level domain such as .net, .biz, .io, .movie, country codes (.in, .us, .ru) etc. The entry is not case sensitive, and can be in uppercase, lowercase, or mixed.
It is applicable to customers with Exchange Online Protection, Microsoft Defender for Office plan 1 or plan 2 service plans.
The top-level domain entry results in the blocking of all URLs that are related to “*./*”, (subdomains, domains, or sub paths) both during mail flow (email is quarantined like other blocked URL entries) and at time of click across Microsoft Teams and Office apps, if Safe Links is enabled.
