Microsoft Employee's Email Accounts Hacked by Syrian Electronic Army

Recently Microsoft has confirmed that in addition to its official Social Media Accounts, few employees email accounts were also hacked during the latest round of attacks by the Syrian Electronic Army.

Over the weekend, SEA hacked the Twitter accounts of Xbox and Xbox Support, along with Xbox's Instagram account.

"A social engineering cyber attack method known as phishing resulted in a small number of Microsoft employee social media and email accounts being impacted, These accounts were reset and no customer information was compromised," the Microsoft Spokesperson said.

The tweets tweeted by the SEA included conversations among employees regarding recent compromises of Microsoft-owned Twitter accounts.
