Microsoft has denied the claims of the “Anonymous Sudan” hacktivists that they breached the company's servers and stole credentials for 30 million customer accounts.
Anonymous Sudan, which has confirmed their affiliation with pro-Russian hacktivists like Killnet, has targeted Western entities with destructive distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) in recent months.
Last month, Microsoft admitted that Anonymous Sudan was responsible for service disruptions and outages that impacted several of its services, including Azure, Outlook, and OneDrive.
Now, the hacktivists alleged that they had successfully hacked Microsoft and accessed a large database containing more than 30 million Microsoft accounts, emails, and passwords.
The hacker group, offered to sell this database to interested parties for $50,000 and urged interested buyers to contact their Telegram bot to arrange the purchase of the data.
They also posted a sample of the stolen data as proof of the breach and warned that Microsoft would deny those claims. The group provided 100 email and password combinations but their origin could not be verified.
However, the company spokesperson denied any data breach claims and stated that they have not seen any evidence that their customer data has been accessed or compromised.
The status of Microsoft’s ongoing or concluded investigation remains unknown, and their response to potential data release remains uncertain.
