For the first time in the history of Microsoft, a cyberattack has left hundreds of executive accounts compromised and caused a major user data leak as Microsoft Azure was attacked.
According to Proofpoint, the hackers use the malicious techniques that were discovered in November 2023. It includes credential theft through phishing methods and cloud account takeover (CTO) which helped the hackers gain access to both Microsoft365 applications as well as OfficeHome.
I’m security minded and I absolutely hate using Microsoft because of this very reason.
I have a Microsoft account because stupid ass Windows needs it, I wanted PC GamePass and I was sick of constantly doing workarounds for the past 15 years. And what do I get for it? I need to log in for so many things. Accidentally open up Microsoft word? Login. Open game pass? Login. Play a game? Login. Game suddenly crashes? Oh because it failed to authenticate and I had to login into game pass again.
I would absolutely fall for this if I had to use microsoft products at work because of logging fatigue.
