So I get an email from Microsoft saying they disabled my azure subscription after performing a routine audit because they identified suspicious activity with my subscription.

I am pretty sure it was because I was testing out the Tor Browser on a Debian server. I never browsed anything illegal or did anything that would get me in trouble. It was just out of curiosity to check the pings and speedtest the tor network on a Microsoft server that has such low latency and high speeds.

This email also came about three weeks after I had last turned on and used the debian server. So they are not proactively monitoring what I or people do but somehow had logs to know what people are doing on their servers. While this is understandable it causes me privacy concerns.

My question is just how are they able to tell I had used the Tor Browser? Would they have been able to if I had limited it to only port 80 traffic in the browser settings?
