Looks quite interesting. Not sure the event system is the correct place as
it's really read-only so couldn't impact the login itself. Maybe an
authenticator would be a better place to implement it.

It could also be combined with having a risk level associated on users that
can then be viewed in the admin console (from the MS vid you shared the
other day).
