How can there be guests on my excel sheet that i did not give access to??

Anonymous

I had 2 'Guests' on my outlook excel file with personal information. Last one's name 'Sugarberry' . I could not get them off as they were not listed on my 'Share' list of guests.

YES THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME!!! I opened an excel sheet shared with my daughter VIA EMAIL... ANd all of a sudden two dots popped up SHAKA and someone else were viewing my file, I couldn't unshare as they weren't anywhere to be unshared, they couldn't be clicked on, there was NOTHING I could do, EXCEL HACKED??????? Did they install something on my computer now? AM I AT RISK???

Same issue here, I had two visitors with vegetable names. One was Asparagus.

Any news on a fix from MS?

Good point about the VPN. That may have something to do with it as the coworkers I shard the document with utilize a VPN. IF Microsoft ever returns a response to me I'll bring up this point.

No I don't have the Numerous.AI add-on installed.

One of the workers with shared access did input some data that day, i am wondering if he has a VPN installed on his PC or his virus/security program causes it, you would think Microsoft would know about it though, especially with the fruit names
