HPE Cyber Attack Fallout: Russian Hackers Strike Again!
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is alerting individuals affected by a December 2023 cyber attack linked to Russia. The Midnight Blizzard group, known for high-profile breaches, accessed HPE’s email environment, pilfering data since May 2023. HPE assures the breach is contained, but personal information may have been compromised.
Hot Take:
Looks like Midnight Blizzard has been busy breaking into cloud-based email environments, leaving HPE scrambling to send out some very awkward ‘Oops, we lost your data’ letters. Maybe it’s time we all just go back to carrier pigeons for our confidential communications?
Key Points:
- HPE is notifying individuals affected by a December 2023 cyber attack linked to Russia-affiliated Midnight Blizzard.
- The breach involved access to HPE’s Microsoft Office 365 cloud-based email environment.
- Attackers exfiltrated data from HPE mailboxes since May 2023.
- Microsoft also confirmed being targeted by the same group, impacting some of its corporate email accounts.
- HPE’s investigation revealed the breach affected certain personal information, notifying impacted individuals accordingly.
