Microsoft has admitted that as a result of installing backdoored SolarWinds tools in some parts of its corporate network, portions of its source code was obtained and exfiltrated by parties unknown. "There was no case where all repositories related to any single product or service was accessed," the update advises, adding: "There was no access to the vast majority of source code. For nearly all of code repositories accessed, only a few individual files were viewed as a result of a repository search."
Microsoft on Thursday said it concluded its probe into the SolarWinds hack, finding that the attackers stole some source code but confirmed there's no evidence that they abused its internal systems to target other companies or gained access to production services or customer data. The disclosure builds upon an earlier update on December 31, 2020, that uncovered a compromise of its own network to view source code related to its products and services.

CyberArk researchers have released BlobHunter, an open-source tool organizations can use to discover Azure blobs containing sensitive files they have inadvertently made public. Despite access to the files uploaded to cloud storages being by default private and cloud providers constantly sharing and reiterating best practices for securing them, misconfigurations happen all the time, making potentially sensitive information publicly accessible to anyone who knows how to find it.
