Microsoft has shared progress on its security updates after Chinese hackers used vulnerability gaps to hack government emails last year. The three trillion dollar company has introduced significant improvements to ensure its identity verification tool is more secure. This comes after a Chinese hacking group known as Storm-0558 used an overlooked vulnerability in Microsoft’s cloud email service to access the accounts of thousands of government workers in the United States in July 2023. Now, Microsoft’s executive vice president of security Charlie Bell has outlined the new security measures in a public blog post, intending to prevent any other groups from doing the same again. The company’s CEO Satya Nadella took to X to emphasize that security is Microsoft’s “top priority”. Security is our top priority, and we’re sharing our progress as we advance cybersecurity protection for Microsoft, our customers, and the industry.
