Microsoft is urging the United States and its allies to collaborate in deterring state-backed cybercriminals, warning that adversaries such as Russia, China, and Iran are increasingly relying on hackers who face no “meaningful consequences” for their violations.
Microsoft’s annual digital threats report, published on Oct. 15, looks into cybercriminal activities that occurred between July 2023 and June 2024. The company stated that its customers face more than 600 million such incidents every day.
