Microsoft Corp. said the hackers behind the SolarWinds cyberattack are engaged in a fresh campaign to compromise global networks by targeting the tech supply chain, including resellers and providers of cloud technology.

Microsoft believes that 22,868 attacks have been conducted against 609 partners since July

According to Microsoft, the group is targeting technology companies that resell and provide cloud services and has been using phishing and password spray to gain entry to targeted networks.

With no letdown from Russia, cloud infrastructure in the U.S. needs to be secured to prevent another SolarWinds attack in 2021.

Microsoft has accused the Russian hacking group Nobelium of being responsible for the attack.

According to Microsoft, the group is targeting technology companies that resell and provide cloud services and has been using phishing and password spray to gain entry to targeted networks.

Nobelium was behind the cyberattacks targeting SolarWinds customers in 2020, and which the US government and others have identified as being part of Russias foreign intelligence service known as the SVR.

According to Microsoft, the group is targeting technology companies that resell and provide cloud services and has been using phishing and password spray to gain entry to targeted networks.

Nobelium, the APT behind the 2020 SolarWinds supply chain attack is targeting organizations via their various service providers.

Microsoft on Monday warned that the same Russian group behind the SolarWinds cyber attack in 2020 has been attempting to “replicate” that approach, now targeting organizations “integral” to the global IT supply chain — specifically resellers and technology service providers.
