Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike foiled an attempt to compromise Crowdstrike and access the company’s email. Microsoft’s Threat Intelligence Center identified a third-party reseller’s Microsoft Azure account to be making “abnormal calls” to Microsoft cloud APIs during a 17-hour period several months ago. The incident comes in the wake of the supply chain attack of SolarWinds revealed earlier this month, resulting in the deployment of a covert backdoor (aka “Sunburst”) via malicious updates of a network monitoring software. The Washington Post alleges Russian government hackers have breached Microsoft cloud customers and stolen emails.
