HPE publicly disclosed the incident in January 2024, confirming that the hackers exfiltrated the contents of a \u201csmall number\u201d of its email mailboxes and some SharePoint files.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Method of Attack<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>HPE said the hackers used \u201ca compromised account to access internal HPE email boxes in our Office 365 email environment.\u201d HPE later told regulators that the stolen mailbox data predominantly belonged to individuals in HPE\u2019s cybersecurity, go-to-market, and business teams.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attribution of the Hack<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>HPE attributed the hack to a group dubbed Midnight Blizzard, which security researchers say is linked to Russia\u2019s foreign intelligence service, known as the SVR. Midnight Blizzard (also known as APT29) has been linked to a number of high-profile attacks, including the 2019 SolarWinds espionage campaign targeting the federal government.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Microsoft\u2019s Involvement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Microsoft also confirmed in January 2024 that its corporate network was compromised by Midnight Blizzard. Microsoft said that the Russian hackers targeted the email accounts of corporate executives, as well as senior staff working in cybersecurity, which Microsoft said was likely in an effort to learn what the company knows about the hackers themselves.<\/p>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/02\/07\/hpe-begins-notifying-data-breach-victims-after-russian-government-hack\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Source Link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hewlett Packard Enterprise Notifies Individuals of Stolen Personal Information Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has begun notifying individuals whose personal information was stolen during a 2023 cyberattack, which the company blamed&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":3881,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[143,40,1033,133,1034],"class_list":["post-3880","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-cybersecurity","tag-data-breach","tag-hewlett-packard-enterprise","tag-microsoft","tag-russia"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/02\/hewlett-packard-enterprise-office-outside.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3880","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3880"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3880\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3881"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3880"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3880"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3880"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
