Microsoft claims that Anonymous Sudan DDoS didn't cause data breach, hackers disagree
Take action: In a "my word against yours" of corporate versus hackers, would you trust the Microsoft PR and lawyers or the cyber criminals? Somehow both groups seem equally untrustworthy.

Microsoft is refuting the claims made by Anonymous Sudan, a group known for its DDoS attacks, that they breached Microsoft's servers and stole credentials for 30 million customer accounts.
Anonymous Sudan is known for debilitating distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks in recent months and is claiming affiliation with pro-Russian hacktivists like Killnet.
Last month, Microsoft acknowledged that Anonymous Sudan was responsible for service disruptions affecting Azure, Outlook, and OneDrive in a massive DDoS attack.
The hacktivists alleged that they successfully hacked Microsoft and had access to a database containing millions of accounts, offering to sell it for $50,000. The hacktivist post includes 100 credential pairs as sample data - allegedly stolen from Microsoft - as proof of the breach.
However, Microsoft has stated that their analysis shows no evidence of a data breach or compromise of customer data, suggesting that it is an aggregation of data from various other data breaches rather than a legitimate hack claim.
