Microsoft confirms Syrian Electronic Army hacked into employee email accounts

JMH · Jan 15, 2014

Microsoft has confirmed to The Verge that a "small number" of employee email accounts were accessed during the latest round of attacks by the Syrian Electronic Army. The hacking group posted three internal emails that appear to have been obtained from several Microsoft employee’s Outlook Web Access accounts. The emails mainly discuss the latest compromises of several Microsoft-owned Twitter accounts, but they do show that the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA) gained much greater access beyond just social network accounts.
