Russia-linked SolarWinds hackers target email accounts used by State Department aid agency
Hackers with suspected ties to the Russian government launched new assaults on human rights groups and government agencies, including email accounts used by the State Department's international aid agency, Microsoft revealed late Thursday.
Microsoft Vice President Tom Burt disclosed the breach in a blog post, saying the "wave of attacks" targeted about 3,000 email accounts across 24 countries, at more than 150 organizations involved in international development and humanitarian work.
The U.S. received the largest share of attacks, Burt said.
The discovery of the cyberattack comes just a few weeks before President Joe Biden is due to meet with Russia's President Vladimir Putin at a summit in Geneva and adds to the growing list of complaints Biden is likely to bring up with Putin in Switzerland.
