The group Anonymous Sudan stated that he is willing to sell the stolen database for US$ 50,000, equivalent to approximately R$ 240,000. They claim to have published a text document containing a small sample of the credentials of around 100 people as proof of the hack.
However, according to the Bleeping Computer, it is not possible to confirm the authenticity of the disclosed documents.
While it's a possibility that this hack is a result of exploiting vulnerabilities in Microsoft's systems, there's also a chance that the data is an old leak.
As informed by the report, all negotiations with those interested in purchasing data take place via a bot in the Telegram messenger, a strategy used to make it difficult to track responsible.
In response to the situation, the Microsoft denied having been the target of an invasion and claimed not to have found evidence that its consumers' data had been accessed or compromised. A company spokesperson highlighted this position in a statement to BleepingComputer.
Microsoft's statement indicates that they are committed to investigating the situation and ensuring the security of their users' data. However, it is important to remember that full confirmation or refutation of the group's allegations Anonymous Sudan may still require further investigation.
In the meantime, users should continue to take precautions regarding the security of their online accounts, including adopting good security practices, such as using strong and unique passwords, and monitoring your accounts for activity suspicions.
