The hackers are using the information from the incident to gain or attempt to gain unauthorized access to some of the company's source code repositories and internal systems. Microsoft noted that it has not found any evidence of Microsoft-hosted customer-facing systems being compromised. The warning concerns an SVR-linked cyber espionage called "Midnight Blizzard."
