"Unraveling the Russian Hacks: Microsoft and HPE Cybersecurity Breaches Exposed"

Security experts anticipate more companies to reveal email hacks by Russian intelligence agents, following disclosures by Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise. The attacks are deeper and broader than currently known, with more than 10 companies expected to come forward. The SVR foreign intelligence service, known as Midnight Blizzard or Cozy Bear, has been inside targeted companies for months, using sophisticated techniques to gain access. The breaches are concerning as many companies and agencies rely on Microsoft and HPE for cloud services, including email. The Department of Homeland Security is working to learn more about the attack and its potential impact, while Microsoft's detection technique suggests multiple targets have been hit with an attack method that works against its system for authorizing access.
