In a blog post, Microsoft acknowledged that the attacks temporarily disrupted access to Outlook, OneDrive, and several other online services. The company revealed that the attacks primarily aimed to generate publicity for a threat actor named Storm-1359, a designation Microsoft uses for groups whose affiliation it has yet to definitively establish.
