Sign-ins from IPs that attempt sign-ins to disabled accounts

Description

'Identifies IPs with failed attempts to sign in to one or more disabled accounts using the IP through which successful signins from other accounts have happened. This could indicate an attacker who obtained credentials for a list of accounts and is attempting to login with those accounts, some of which may have already been disabled. References: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/reports-monitoring/reference-sign-ins-error-codes 50057 - User account is disabled. The account has been disabled by an administrator. This query has also been updated to include UEBA logs IdentityInfo and BehaviorAnalytics for contextual information around the results.'
