🔻An expanded cyber attack targeting Microsoft: data leakage and disruption of services
In a worrying development in the world of cybersecurity, Microsoft was subjected to a major cyber attack that led to the leaking of sensitive data and the disruption of a number of its basic services. The attack, which occurred late this week, is believed to have been carried out by a sophisticated group of hackers who exploited a previously unknown vulnerability in the company's systems.
Details of the attack indicate that the hackers were able to access the personal data of millions of users, including names, postal addresses, and contact information. Services such as Outlook and Microsoft Teams were also affected, with users experiencing significant difficulties accessing email and internal communications.
Microsoft confirmed in a statement that it is working to address the security vulnerability and that it has begun implementing enhanced security measures to prevent such hacks from occurring in the future. The company also stressed its commitment to protecting user data and providing continuous updates on the progress of investigations.
Cybersecurity experts urge all users to update their software and use advanced security measures, such as two-step verification, to protect their accounts from future hacks. At the same time, investigations continue to determine the extent of the attack and fully assess the damage.
