A hacking group Microsoft calls Storm-558 had gained access to a digital key that allowed it to break into several government inboxes, the tech firm earlier said. The incident strained an already tense U.S.-China relationship as the Chinese embassy in Washington dismissed allegations that Chinese government-linked hackers were behind it.
"At the time I did not imagine that it was actually that they could access anything they wanted in the Microsoft Office 365 environment for almost any organisation in the world, but that was in fact the case," she said, referring to the company's proprietary software.
