US Cybersecurity Agency : Russian Hackers Used Microsoft Access to Steal Government Emails

Morrissey Technology – The United States Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency says Russian government-backed hackers have used their access to Microsoft email systems to steal correspondence between officials and the tech giant. This was conveyed by CISA in an emergency directive.

In a briefing dated April 2, the agency warned that hackers were exploiting authentication details shared via email to try to break into Microsoft customer systems FOR4D, including those of an unspecified number of government agencies.

The warning that government agencies were targeted using stolen Microsoft emails follows the company’s announcement in March that it was still grappling with the intruders, which it dubbed “Midnight Blizzard.”

The revelations, which served as a wake-up call for the cybersecurity industry, were followed last week by a report from the US Cybersecurity Review Board which stated that another hack – accused of being carried out by China – could have been prevented, leading to blame for the company’s cybersecurity weaknesses and lack of transparency. intentional.

CISA declined to name institutions that may have been affected. Microsoft said in an email that it is “working with our customers to help them investigate and mitigate. This includes working with CISA on emergency directives to provide guidance to government agencies.”

The Russian Embassy in Washington, which has denied being behind the hacking campaign in the past, did not immediately return a message seeking comment. CISA warned that the hackers might also attack non-governmental groups.

“Other organizations may also be impacted by Microsoft’s corporate email exfiltration,” CISA FOR4D said, encouraging customers to contact Microsoft for more details.

Russian Hacker Crack Microsoft

Russian Hackers Break into Microsoft’s Core Systems

Morrissey Technology – Russian hackers gained access to some of Microsoft’s core software systems in a hack last January. According to Microsoft, there are more extensive and serious anomalies in Microsoft systems that were previously unknown. The company believes hackers in recent weeks used information stolen from Microsoft’s email system.

“(Hackers accessed) multiple source code repositories and the company’s internal systems,” Microsoft told the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

Source code is often coveted by companies – and the spies who try to break into it. This is because there is a secret software program that makes it work. Hackers who have access to the source code can use it for advanced attacks on other systems.

Microsoft first disclosed the hack in January, days before another major technology company, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, said the same hacker had broken into its cloud-based email system.

It is not yet known exactly what the purpose and extent of the hackers were to infiltrate the core system. But experts say the hacking group was responsible for collecting intelligence data and was affiliated with the Kremlin.

This hacker group is said to be the figure behind the breach of several United States agency email systems that was revealed in 2020. The hackers controlled the system for months to unclassified email accounts belonging to the Ministry of Homeland Security and Justice.

US officials linked the hacking group to Russia’s foreign intelligence service. However, the Kremlin denied involvement in the operation. In the years since the 2020 hack, Russian hackers have continued to break into widely used technology companies as part of their espionage campaigns.

In the activity described Friday, the hackers allegedly used information stolen from Microsoft “to assemble a picture of areas to attack and improve its ability to do so,” the company said in a blog post accompanying the SEC filing FOR4D.

“To date we have found no evidence that Microsoft-hosted customer-facing systems have been compromised,” Microsoft said.
