Technology giant Microsoft announced that there was a cyber attack on e-mail accounts. The attack carried out by Russian hackers targeted Microsoft. The attackers, who accessed the e-mail accounts of the company’s senior executives, obtained some information, according to the statements.

Will Microsoft be able to cope with the cyber attack?

Microsoft shared news of a cyber attack on Friday. Microsoft’s senior executives were targeted in the attack carried out by a Russia-linked hacking group. The group also attacked the e-mails of cyber security and legal employees and, according to the statements, accessed a small number of e-mail accounts.

According to Microsoft’s statements, the cyber attack carried out by a group called “Nobelium” has carried out many attacks to infiltrate systems since November. It was said that the attackers who seized e-mail accounts and attached documents in the last attack may have been in cooperation with company employees.

Microsoft, which announced that it had overhauled its software and systems after minor attacks last November, apparently was not very successful. Stating that it is now necessary to keep up with the changes to be made in old systems and products, the company stated that they need to act even faster for this incident.

For now, Microsoft is trying to solve this problem. While the Microsoft cyber security team is solving software and password problems, the legal team and law enforcement are conducting the forensic process of the attack. Let’s see how much company will be affected by this attack. Do you think the company will be able to prevent these attacks? You can express your opinions in the comments.
