Microsoft is battling continued attacks from Russian state hacker group Midnight Blizzard, according to a company statement and a report filed to the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
Microsoft Corporation says it still cannot shake Russian hackers who compromised several email accounts belonging to company executives. Midnight Blizzard — the group named by Microsoft as responsible for ongoing cyber attacks on their digital infrastructure — has reportedly used information obtained in the first successful hack to broaden its scope.
The Russian state-sponsored Midnight Blizzard hackers got into email accounts of some individuals on Microsoft’s senior leadership team, with some cybersecurity, legal and other workers also impacted, Microsoft said in a blog post at the time. Microsoft had also said it "immediately activated our response process to investigate, disrupt malicious activity, mitigate the attack, and deny the threat actor further access" upon learning of the attack on Jan. 12.
