For reference

Cozy Bear is a Russian hacker group that, according to Western intelligence services, operates under the auspices of the russian Federal Security Service. This group of hackers was mentioned in connection with virtual attacks on the headquarters of presidential candidate Barack Obama in 2008, attacks on the US Treasury and the Department of Commerce, and many other structures.

A Russian-backed hacker group known as Midnight Blizzard or Nobelium has hacked into a small percentage of Microsoft's corporate email accounts.

The company blocked the attackers' access, assuring that the incident was not related to any vulnerabilities in their products or services.
