Jake Sullivan says the hack accessed unclassified US government emails.
President Biden’s administration vowed consequences for those responsible for hacking a Microsoft cloud system that granted access to government emails on Sunday.
“This was actually an intrusion into a Microsoft cloud system, and through that cloud system they got into unclassified U.S. government emails. It was the U.S. government who discovered the intrusion, alerted Microsoft, got it shut down. And now we’re taking steps to ensure that’s not an ongoing vulnerability,” Sullivan said.
White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan made a statement that investigators are still working to pin down the source of the hack.Microsoft stated last week that a China-based hacking group it identified as Storm-0558 breached email accounts from approximately 25 organizations, including U.S. government agencies.
“We have been working with the impacted customers and notifying them prior to going public with further details. At this stage – and in coordination with customers – we are sharing the details of the incident and threat actor to benefit the industry,” Microsoft said in a blog post.
