SC-200 EmailEvents table Practice Question
You are investigating a security incident in Microsoft Sentinel where a user reported receiving a phishing email with a malicious attachment. You need to identify all users who received the same email within the last 24 hours. Which KQL query should you use?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap is anchoring on the reported victim's email address — the exam tests whether you pivot on campaign identifiers (sender/subject) to find all recipients, not just query the one user who reported it.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
EmailEvents | where SenderFromAddress == 'attacker@example.com' and Subject == 'Invoice' and Timestamp > ago(24h) | project RecipientEmailAddress
To find all users who received the same phishing email, you must pivot on the email's identifying attributes — sender and subject — rather than the reported recipient. Querying EmailEvents filtered by SenderFromAddress, Subject, and a 24-hour window, then projecting RecipientEmailAddress, returns every recipient of that campaign.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
EmailEvents | where RecipientEmailAddress == 'user@contoso.com' and Timestamp > ago(24h) | project SenderFromAddress, Subject
Why it's wrong here
This only shows the specific user, not all recipients.
- ✗
EmailUrlInfo | where Url == 'http://malicious.com' | project RecipientEmailAddress
Why it's wrong here
EmailUrlInfo is for URLs, not attachments.
- ✗
EmailAttachmentInfo | where FileName == 'malicious.doc' | project RecipientEmailAddress
Why it's wrong here
EmailAttachmentInfo does not contain recipient info.
- ✓
EmailEvents | where SenderFromAddress == 'attacker@example.com' and Subject == 'Invoice' and Timestamp > ago(24h) | project RecipientEmailAddress
Why this is correct
This retrieves all recipients who received the same email from the same sender and subject.
