WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Microsoft says the Chinese hack of U.S. government officials stemmed from compromise of a Microsoft engineer’s corporate account.
In a blog post published on Wednesday, Microsoft said the engineer’s account had been penetrated by a hacking group it dubbed Storm-0558 – and which American officials have said stole emails from the U.S. State and Commerce departments.
