Russian hackers, identified as elite government operatives, have escalated their cyber operations against Microsoft, breaching the company's email systems and targeting its customers. The initial intrusion, which occurred in November, involved the compromise of senior executives' email accounts. Following this breach, the hackers have been attempting to infiltrate customer networks using stolen access data. In response to these security threats, the Five Eyes agencies have issued detailed instructions for enhancing cloud security. This advisory comes amid broader concerns about cybersecurity and the protection of sensitive information.
