Microsoft Unveils New Surface Laptop
The fallout from a major hacking campaign, believed to be conducted by Russia, continues to grow. In a blog post, Microsoft said that it was one of the numerous organizations that were using malware-infected software from SolarWinds. The company said that its IT management software was infected with malware, which allowed hackers to gain access to the computer systems of over 18,000 organizations around the world, including several U.S. government agencies.
Microsoft said it removed the malware from its systems and has identified more than 40 customers using its Defender Anti-Virus software that were infected with the malware. The company said it expects the number of victims to grow as it continues to investigate the massive hack.
