In January, Microsoft disclosed that it had been breached again,
this time by Russian state-sponsored hacking group Midnight Blizzard.
The group was able "to compromise a legacy non-production test tenant account" to gain access to Microsoft's systems for "as long as two months."
All of this culminated in a report from the US Cyber Safety Review Board, which castigated Microsoft for its "inadequate" security culture, its "inaccurate pub…
