Key FactsUS government faults Microsoft for errors in Chinese hacker attack

Apr 3, 2024 · Reading time: ~30 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: cnn.com

A US government review found that Microsoft committed a series of avoidable errors that allowed Chinese hackers to access the tech giant's network last year and later breach the email accounts of senior US officials.

Microsoft was specifically criticized for not adequately protecting a sensitive cryptographic key, enabling hackers to remotely log into their targets' Outlook accounts by forging credentials.

The hack resulted in Chinese operatives gaining access to the unclassified email accounts of senior US diplomats, including US Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns and US Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo.

Microsoft announced plans to enhance its security practices for software development and user protection following the alleged Chinese hacking incident and scrutiny of its security practices by US lawmakers.
