Microsoft has attributed the recent service outages of Azure, Outlook, and OneDrive to a DDoS attack by an unknown group called Storm-1359. The attack was likely carried out using rented cloud infrastructure, open proxies, and DDoS tools. While no customer data was accessed or compromised, the attacks temporarily impacted the availability of some services. Anonymous Sudan, a hacktivist group, has claimed responsibility for the attacks, but Microsoft has not explicitly linked Storm-1359 to Anonymous Sudan. KillNet, a Kremlin-affiliated collective, has also been linked to the attacks on healthcare entities hosted in Microsoft Azure.
