Russian hackers who broke into Microsoft's systems and spied on staff inboxes earlier this year also stole emails from its customers, the tech giant said on Thursday (Jun 27), around six months after it first disclosed the intrusion.
Microsoft signage is seen at the company's headquarters in Redmond, Washington, on Jan 18, 2023. Russia n hackers who broke into Microsoft 's systems and spied on staff inboxes earlier this year also stole emails from its customers, the tech giant said on Thursday , around six months after it first disclosed the intrusion.
The Russian government has never responded to the Microsoft hacking allegations, but Microsoft has said the hackers targeted cybersecurity researchers who had been investigating the Russian hacking group's actions. Microsoft said it was also sharing the compromised emails with its customers, but did not say how many customers had been impacted, nor how many emails may have been stolen.
Back in January, the world's largest software vendor had said that Midnight Blizzard had accessed"a very small percentage" of the company's corporate email accounts. Four months later it said those hackers were still trying to break in, alarming many of its security industry peers and customers who questioned why Microsoft's systems remained vulnerable.
