    Not sure what the difference is from a mail filtering perspective.  From
    Microsoft's perspective it is both.  A spammer got someone's password
    and started sending a bunch of invoice phishing emails pretending to be
    a local construction company that happens to host their email on O365 so
    their SPF record is good.

I agree this scenario seems unlikely, I can't find any example, I have done 
some testing myself.

Seems that O365 will return

550 5.7.60 SMTP; Client does not have permissions to send as this sender

if the SMTP From is anything but an accepted address for that user in the 
domain controlled with O365

I was convinced I have seen this scenario but without the evidence I'll have to 
chalk it to bad memory
