Under CISA pressure collaboration, Microsoft makes cloud security logs available for free
According to Goldstein, the affected agency used logging data to detect the breach on Microsoft's cloud-based email services and take action to limit the damage. He said charging for logging data was"a recipe for inadequate visibility into investigating cyber security incidents."
The attack – which Microsoft has called espionage-focused and attributed to a China-based threat actor it tracks as Storm-O558 – was found by the Federal Civilian Executive Brach agency. Among the reported victims are US commerce secretary Gina Raimondo and other State and Commerce Department officials. The threat actors had access to accounts for around a month before being detected on June 16, 2023.
On Friday, Microsoft admitted it still didn't know how the hackers gained access to the signing key needed to access accounts, and said the investigation was"ongoing." It also revealed that it had seen Storm-0558 transition to other techniques – indicating the gang's ability to use signing keys has been disrupted by cyber security measures. ®
