Microsoft has detected cyberattacks targeting people and organizations involved in the upcoming presidential election. Microsofts Threat Intelligence Center (MSTIC) has observed a series of attacks conducted by Strontium between September 2019 and today. The majority of these attacks were detected and stopped by security tools built into our products. Microsoft has directly notified those who were targeted or compromised so they can take action to protect themselves. Many of the attacks affected more than 200 organizations in total, are directly or indirectly affiliated with the upcoming U.S. election and political and policy-related organizations in Europe.”]
