Hackers accessed Microsoft cloud customers' information through third party: report
Hackers affiliated with the Russian government have reportedly accessed emails from at least one company in the private sector and accessed Microsoft cloud customers' information through a third party, The Washington Post reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The newspaper's sources said the hackers seemed to have accessed the materials through an unidentified corporate partner of the tech giant.
"Our investigation of recent attacks has found incidents involving abuse of credentials to gain access, which can come in several forms," Jeff Jones, Microsoft's senior director for communications, said in a statement Thursday. "We have still not identified any vulnerabilities or compromise of Microsoft product or cloud services."
