Russian Hackers Target HP Enterprise in Major Cyberattack

Russian state-sponsored hackers linked to APT29, also known as BlueBravo and Cozy Bear, infiltrated Hewlett Packard Enterprise's (HPE) cloud email environment, exfiltrating mailbox data from a small percentage of HPE mailboxes over a six-month period. The attack, attributed to the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), is suspected to be connected to a prior security event involving unauthorized access to SharePoint files. HPE stated that the incident has not materially impacted its operations, and the exact scale and nature of the accessed email information were not disclosed.
