HPE’s Cyber Comedy: Cozy Bear Strikes Again in Data Breach Fiasco!
Hewlett Packard Enterprise is informing employees about a cyberattack by Russian hackers Cozy Bear, who swiped personal data from its Office 365 email in May 2023. HPE assures it’s a “limited group,” but for those affected, it’s like discovering your umbrella has a hole—right before a downpour.
Hot Take:
Looks like HPE is having a rough year with cybercriminals treating their Office 365 like an all-you-can-eat buffet. Who knew Russian hackers had such a taste for high-tech espionage?
