Hackers Steal Law Enforcement Inquiry Documents from Microsoft
http://j.mp/1gcN2tK (Security Week)
Targeted attacks like this are not uncommon, especially for an
organization like Microsoft. What's interesting about this is that the
incident was significant enough to disclose, indicating that a fair
number of documents could have been exposed, or that the company fears
some documents will make their way to the public if released by the
attackers-which may be the case if this was a "hacktivist" attack.
"In terms of the cyberattack, we continue to further strengthen our
security," Hall continued. "This includes ongoing employee education
and guidance activities, additional reviews of technologies in place
to manage social media properties, and process improvements based on
the findings of our internal investigation."
