Two articles for the same issue: M$ got popped last year, the the hacking crew are still eating off that breach last year:

Russian hackers, known as Midnight Blizzard, are using stolen Microsoft data to attempt unauthorized access to the company's systems.
The breach, linked to Russia's SVR, involved access to Microsoft's source code and internal systems, but there's no evidence of compromise to customer systems.
Microsoft is actively investigating the breach and has noted an increase in tactics like password sprays by the hackers.
"Microsoft’s admission that the SVR hack had not been contained exposes the perils of the heavy reliance by government and business on the Redmond, Washington, company’s software monoculture — and the fact that so many of its customers are linked through its global cloud network."

Microsoft is still dealing with an ongoing hack by elite Russian government hackers, involving compromised senior executive email accounts and efforts to breach customer networks using stolen data.
The hack has not been contained, with Microsoft admitting that the hackers, identified as Cozy Bear, have accessed some source code repositories and internal systems, raising significant national security concerns.
