Microsoft disclosed that some of its corporate email accounts were breached by a Russian-backed group known as Midnight Blizzard, which gained access to a small percentage of email accounts, including those of senior leadership and cybersecurity personnel. The hackers exfiltrated some emails and documents before their access was removed by Microsoft.
