Microsoft reported a breach by Russian group 'Midnight Blizzard,' which accessed internal systems and source code using stolen authentication secrets from a January cyberattack. The unauthorized access was facilitated by a compromised non-production test account lacking multi-factor authentication and linked to an OAuth app with elevated privileges. Microsoft is contacting affected customers and has ramped up security measures to counter the persistent threat.

I really hope gnu.org doesn't get hacked and gets the graphical source code! /s
