2024-01-20 00:02
Microsoft disclosed Friday night that some of its corporate email accounts were breached and data stolen by the Russian state-sponsored hacking group Midnight Blizzard.
Nobelium is a Russian state-sponsored actor believed to be behind the 2020 SolarWinds supply chain attack, which also impacted Microsoft.
Microsoft later confirmed that the SolarWinds attack allowed the hackers to steal source code for a limited number of Azure, Intune, and Exchange components.
In June 2021, the hacking group breached a Microsoft corporate account again, allowing them to access customer support tools.
