Microsoft Warns of Widening APT29 Espionage Attacks Targeting Global Orgs

---

Why This Matters to Us:

• The Bigger Picture: APT29, known by many names like BlueBravo and Cozy Bear, has been way busier than we thought. They’re not just after quick data grabs; they’re playing the long game to collect valuable info for Russia.
• How They Do It: Think of APT29 as the ninjas of the cyber world. They’re using compromised accounts and sneaky tactics like exploiting in-house systems and supply chain vulnerabilities. They’ve even turned OAuth applications into their espionage tools.
• Microsoft’s Own Experience: Last year, APT29 managed to slip into Microsoft’s backdoor using something as simple as a password spray attack. What’s tricky is how they use residential proxies – it’s like playing hide and seek, but they’re really good at hiding.
