Microsoft Office 365 Users Targeted in Brute Force Attacks

Enterprise Office 365 accounts were hit with a brute-force attack in one of the earliest operationalized cloud-to-cloud business attacks. Attackers tried logging in with different versions of employees’ usernames, a sign they may have already possessed names and passwords.

For each business, only a handful of senior employees were targeted; all those who were hit have been notified of the attacks.”]
