Microsoft: 12 Agencies and University in Texas is exposed to Russian pirate

Microsoft informed more than 12 government and university agencies in Texas that Russian pirates sponsored by the state could reach e -mails between them and the giant software company. The infiltruators were able to reach communication by penetrating the “Microsoft” systems, which was unveiled in January, with e -mails of some of the managers of the business. The agencies that Microsoft warned include their vulnerability to the attack administration and vehicles in Texas, the state’s workforce committee, his public office and its security council, according to a person who is familiar with the case, asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to discuss the matter. Does Russia have a hand in the attack? “Microsoft” was responsible for the attack on a piracy group called “Midnight Blizzard”, which is linked to intelligence services in Russia. The state and Microsoft are still studying the effect of penetration. Steve Bear, Steve Bear, acknowledged on Friday that the e -mail messages from the government were cut, but he said it was so far routine administrative contacts. New Texas news news is influenced by Microsoft’s penetration of fear that an American opponent could achieve sensitive information on employees, financial issues or biological infrastructure in one of the most populated states and economic importance in the country. “To be clear, Texas was not hacked, but Microsoft, and that included some email in the state,” Pierre, from the Department of Information Sources in Texas, said in a statement. He said his administration heard for the first time last week about cases of “Microsoft” penetration and that he still evaluated the number of affected entities. Microsoft refused to identify clients who received notifications about the attack. A spokesman for the company said on Friday: “We will continue to coordinate with our clients, support them and help them take measures to reduce the impact of the incident.” Informed information Microsoft informed the General Land Office on Monday that the infiltrates reached 11 of its email to the huge technology company, according to Kimberly Hobard, the office spokesman, who said the messages were often related to technical support. “There was nothing in these emails containing sensitive or confidential information, or the threat of threat could be used to attack us. We have yet seen any signs of access to the system or subsequent attacks on our network related to this Microsoft incident.” ‘Microsoft’ told the agency on Wednesday that ‘her email systems were affected’, but she did not mention what the infilters could have achieved. Representatives from the Ministry of Transport and the Security Council did not respond to suspension requests on Friday. A spokesman for the automatic vehicle department refused to comment. In January, Microsoft announced that infiltrates stole email messages for senior employees they used to try to penetrate the customer messages, including government agencies. Last week, the company told additional customers that the infiltrates could reach their email, and began to provide clients who had previously informed them of the details of what the Pirates had gripped. An ‘insufficient’ safety environment attributed the company to a group that, according to the US and British authorities, was attached to the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service. It is noteworthy that “Midnit Blazard” is also known as “ABT 29” (apt 29) and “Cosy Bear”. It is still not clear that the number of other Microsoft customers who have been hacked. And orders were issued to the US federal agencies in April to analyze e -mails, reset the permeated accreditation data and work to secure the cloud “Microsoft” wool cribs amid fear that the infiltrators could reach correspondence. The effects of penetration are clearer, as the company, located in Redmond, Washington, faces a series of excellent and destructive failures associated with the safety of its systems, which caused the condemnation of the US government. In April, a Government Review Council issued a shocking report criticizing ‘Microsoft’ because of the ‘insufficient’ safety environment, and ‘Mediait Blazard’ quoted as proof that the company had not yet solved the problem. Microsoft has been in the midst of its greatest security reform for decades.
