Hackers viewed source code, didn’t change it says Microsoft

Hackers viewed source code, didn’t change it says Microsoft

  • Microsoft  said Thursday in a blog post that hackers tied to a massive intrusion of dozens of US government agencies and private companies sneaked further into its systems than previously thought, although the intrusion doesn’t appear to have caused any harm.

    The company said the hackers were able to view few code underlying Microsoft software, but weren’t able to make any changes.

    Microsoft played down any risk associated with the additional intrusion, noting that its software development relies on code sharing within the company, a practice called “inner source.”

    Microsoft said it doesn’t rely on keeping program code secret as a security measure and instead assumes that adversaries have seen its code and uses other defensive measures to frustrate attacks.

    The company said it found no evidence of hacker access to customer data and no indication that its systems were used to attack others.

    The hack began as early as March when malicious code was snuck into updates to SolarWinds software that monitors computer networks. Microsoft helped respond to the breach with cybersecurity firm FireEye, which discovered the hack when the security firm itself was targeted.

    Cybersecurity experts and US officials suspect Russia was behind the hack. Microsoft said earlier this month that it identified more than 40 government agencies, think tanks, nongovernmental organizations and IT companies infiltrated by the hackers. Russia has denied that it is to blame.
