Microsoft to warn of nation-state hacks

Microsoft will start warning people if it suspects a government is trying to hack into their email and other online accounts.
Users will be informed if their Outlook, OneDrive and other consumer-facing services are being targeted.
Anyone who received such a warning should take additional steps to keep their data safe, it said.
The move could put it at odds with UK government proposals to limit what tech firms can say about surveillance.
Several other companies, including Twitter, Facebook, Google and Yahoo have previously pledged to alert people about government requests for data.
