Microsoft on Friday said that Russian group Nobelium, which the company refers to as Midnight Blizzard, has been trying to access its internal systems and source code repositories.
"In recent weeks, we have seen evidence that Midnight Blizzard is using information initially exfiltrated from our corporate email systems to gain, or attempt to gain, unauthorized access.
This has included access to some of the company's source code repositories and internal systems," Microsoft said in a blog post.
Microsoft said Midnight Blizzard was trying to access secrets, including those shared between Microsoft and its customers, but that it was reaching out and helping affected customers.
Microsoft first said in January that it had detected a cyberattack from Nobelium, which saw the Russian group hack emails from top executives.
