"Microsoft's Ongoing Battle Against Russian State-Backed Hackers"
Microsoft revealed that Kremlin-backed hackers, known as Midnight Blizzard, have expanded their access since their January breach, targeting customers and compromising the company's source code and internal systems. The group gained initial access through a weak password and has since used stolen information in follow-on attacks, including password spraying. Microsoft is working to assist affected customers and has emphasized that there is no evidence the hackers gained access to customer-facing systems. Midnight Blizzard is a prolific APT group, and international partners have warned of its expanded activity targeting various sectors.
