Security researchers love to report software vulnerabilities that they find. That's their role and it's a valuable contribution to the technical community.

One way to protect administrator mailboxes is not to use them. And if you want administrators to use separate mailboxes for their permissioned and non-permissioned activities, that's what you might do. However, we can be smarter and use transport rules to selectively block email sent to administrator mailboxes to dissuade internal people from sending email and blocking all but the most essential email coming in from external domains.
Exchange Online now supports SMTP Strict Transport Security (MTA-STS), a mechanism to help defend SMTP communications between mail servers. Microsoft 365 tenants can decide if they want to enable MTA-STS for their domain by publishing a DNS record and an MTA-STS policy. You don't have to use MTA-STS, but it's a good idea to consider the option.
