Microsoft denies data breach, theft of 30 million customer accounts

Yesterday, the hacktivists alleged that they had “Successfully hacked Microsoft” and “Accessed a large database containing more than 30 million Microsoft accounts, emails, and passwords.”

The post even includes a sample of the data they offered as proof of the breach and warned that Microsoft would deny those claims.

“We have seen no evidence that our customer data has been accessed or compromised” – Microsoft spokesperson.
