Microsoft Alerts More Customers to Email Theft in Expanding

Microsoft has expanded its alert to more customers regarding email theft in the aftermath of the Midnight Blizzard hack orchestrated by the Russian government. The software giant is notifying customers that their emails were accessed by the hackers, providing a secure portal for viewing the stolen emails. Microsoft is proactively sharing the compromised emails with affected organizations to enhance transparency. The company described the incident as an ongoing attack, with the threat actors using stolen information to plan further attacks. The hack has had a broader impact on Microsoft's customer base, with screenshots of notifications circulating on social media. The group behind the hack, Midnight Blizzard/Nobelium, was also responsible for the SolarWinds supply chain attack in 2020.
