Microsoft Informs Customers of Russian Hackers Accessing Emails Six Months Ago
Jun 28, 2024, 02:30 AM
Microsoft has informed new and existing customers that their emails were accessed by a Russian state-sponsored hacking group. The breach, which targeted Microsoft's internal systems, was first disclosed around six months ago. The hackers also spied on senior Microsoft executives' emails, which included communications with other firms and organizations. Microsoft is now providing details to affected companies, including some that were previously unaware of the intrusion. The hackers targeted cybersecurity researchers investigating the group's actions. The breach has had wider repercussions than initially thought, as more customers are being informed about the compromised emails. A Microsoft spokesperson commented on the incident, which was reported by Bloomberg News.
