Microsoft recently reported a security breach by the Midnight Blizzard group earlier this year. The hackers were found to still be attempting to infiltrate the company’s systems using previously obtained data and gaining access to some source code and internal systems without any evidence of impact on the related systems.
Reports indicate that the hackers were searching for secret keys exchanged between Microsoft employees and customers. Microsoft is currently reaching out to customers who may have been affected.
Despite patching the initial vulnerabilities, Microsoft has discovered that the Midnight Blizzard group continues to launch continuous password spray attacks, with the volume increasing significantly by 10 times since January.
The investigation into this incident is ongoing, and Microsoft promises to release further reports as the situation unfolds.
TLDR: Microsoft updates on the Midnight Blizzard group hacking incident and ongoing investigation.
