US Probes Microsoft Email Breach, Cloud Security

The newly created Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB) will investigate Microsoft’s July email breach, which was allegedly carried out by hackers operating on China’s behalf. The board will also focus on broader issues related to cloud-based identity and authentication infrastructure. The breach affected high-level government accounts and led Oregon Senator Ron Wyden to call for action against Microsoft. The CSRB aims to inform future improvements in cyber security.
