Microsoft DevOps accounts might have been breached by hackers

This month, both Ubisoft and Samsung have been on the receiving end where their data was breached by hackers. Samsung’s Galaxy source code was stolen, while Ubisoft’s cybersecurity was compromised. LAPSUS$ took credit for both of them, although neither of the affected parties has confirmed the same.

As it happens, some Microsoft DevOps accounts might have been breached by the same group of hackers. For a short period, through Telegram, Lapsus released a screenshot to support their claims. However, it was deleted a few moments later. Cyber Kendra on Reddit managed to get a screenshot before the hackers deleted it. (via Neowin)

Microsoft has not provided any official information to confirm these claims, but we will be sure to keep you in the loop as the story unfolds.
