Chinese state-linked hackers have secretly accessed email accounts at around 25 organizations including government agencies in a sweeping cyberespionage campaign, Microsoft said on Wednesday.
In an interview with ABC television, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said the United States had detected a breach of federal government accounts « fairly rapidly » and had managed to prevent further breaches.
The hacking group, which Microsoft dubbed Storm-0558, forged digital authentication tokens to access webmail accounts running on the firm’s Outlook service, Microsoft said in a statement on its website.
