Microsoft report finds Russia dominant force behind cyberattacks in past year
Source: The Hill
Cyberattacks originating in Russia accounted for over half of intrusions tracked by Microsoft since mid-2020, the company said in a report released Thursday.
The findings were detailed in Microsoft's annual Digital Defense Report. The company said it tracked threat activity from a number of countries, but found that 58 percent of attacks reported by customers originated in Russia, followed by North Korea at 23 percent.
"Over the past year, Russia-based activity groups have solidified their position as acute threats to the global digital ecosystem," the report states. "They have also shown a high tolerance for collateral damage, which leaves anyone with connections to targets of interest vulnerable to opportunistic targeting."
The report went on to say that over 90 percent of the Russian-linked threat activity was carried out by a threat group Microsoft named "Nobelium," which the company blamed in May for using a U.S. Agency for International Development email marketing account to target hundreds of organizations in two dozen countries, including government agencies.
