Microsoft's senior executives targeted in Russian hackers' password spray attack

Russian state-backed hackers have been targeting Microsoft systems, gaining unauthorized access to a small percentage of corporate email accounts. The hacking group, known as Midnight Blizzard, launched password spray attacks to infiltrate the accounts and gained access to source code repositories and internal systems, potentially enabling further attacks. Microsoft detected the unauthorized activity in late November 2023, with an increase in attacks in February. The company is working to defend against this advanced persistent threat and is collaborating with law enforcement and regulators as the investigation continues. No evidence of access to customer environments or AI systems has been found.
