On 5/28/21 at 12:24 PM EDT
Russian-based hackers behind the SolarWinds attacks sent email containing malware to over 3,000 accounts in more than 150 organizations from a marketing account of the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Associated Press reported.
The phishing emails were sent May 25 and claimed to contain new information on 2020 election fraud claims and included a link that allowed hackers to achieve persistent access to compromised machines.
According to the Associated Press, Microsoft said the latest hacking attempts are ongoing and have evolved since the first campaigns were detected in January.
