Microsoft said on June 25 that the hackers behind the notorious SolarWinds cyberattack have begun a fresh campaign mostly focusing on U.S. interests that, while mostly unsuccessful, has managed to compromise three entities.
The Russia-based hacking group—which goes by various names, such as Nobelium—launched the new effort using “password spray and brute-force attacks,” the Microsoft Security Response Center said in an alert, noting that 36 countries in total had been targeted.
