In a new revelation, Microsoft Corp. MSFT has explained that Russian hackers stole some of its source code by spying on the company's senior executives. The Windows maker revealed that the attack is still "ongoing."

It’s not news when China does it.

EXCERPTS:

In January, the email accounts of Microsoft’s top executives were breached by the same Russian intelligence group. The company had assured them that there was no impact on customer data.

The Nobelium group was also responsible for the 2020 SolarWinds breach, which was one of the worst cyberattacks on U.S. agencies and major U.S. companies.

Why does russia want the blue screen of death?

Microsoft Corp should use Linux ,LOL

[Zathras]

Sounds like fake news.
Sr Executives normally only deal with day to day issues and planning.
Engineering teams have access to the source code and its buried deep behind many layers of security.
Plus they know the names of EVERYONE who has access.

Or when our 3 letter agencies do it.

Gee, I really feel bad for Microsoft, I still remember all the favors they did for me.

Maybe they should go to Russia and demand satisfaction.

[curious7]

Which is the much more likely answer if the breach actually occurred as reported.

Leading to update 11R1?

Good grief, what would Russia, or anyone else do with Windows spaghetti-code?

Blue Screen of death!

[Jan_Sobieski]

Pretty smart for knuckle dragging Mongol savages…don’t you think?

[MeganC]

Kind of entertaining how the Russia Fanboi crowd alternately ridicules and brags about the idea that Russia did this.

Biden isn’t the only one suffering cognitive dissonance.
