Microsoft reported a breach by Russian group ‘Midnight Blizzard,’ which accessed internal systems and source code using stolen authentication secrets from a January cyberattack. The unauthorized access was facilitated by a compromised non-production test account lacking multi-factor authentication and linked to an OAuth app with elevated privileges. Microsoft is contacting affected customers and has ramped up security measures to counter the persistent threat.
How the fuck does MS get hacked to the point where source code is leaked? It wouldn’t be sitting on a server called win-src-01 in their DMZ. I assume it is on servers within networks that a firewalled off from the regular network that only developers can get to and Peggy-Sue in Accounts can’t.
