Microsoft accounts and various websites used to enable a bevy of cybercrime activities, the company said Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement comes nearly a week after Microsoft obtained <a href=\"https:\/\/landingpage-h0gcc3bvhkd2aaez.z01.azurefd.net\/notice-of-pleadings\">a court order<\/a> from the Southern District of New York allowing it to seize U.S.-based infrastructure and

The group is one of several that \u201cenable scores of cybercriminals to carry out their malicious activities more efficiently and effectively,\u201d Amy Hogan-Burney, Microsoft\u2019s associate general counsel for cybersecurity policy and protection, <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.microsoft.com\/on-the-issues\/2023\/12\/13\/cybercrime-cybersecurity-storm-1152-fraudulent-accounts\/\">wrote in a blog post<\/a> on the company\u2019s website. <\/p>\n<p>The group \u201cplays a significant role in the highly specialized cybercrime-as-a-service ecosystem,\u201d Hogan-Burney wrote, offering fraudulent Microsoft accounts as well as services to bypass CAPTCHA puzzles, which are designed to reduce inauthentic, spammy behavior by forcing a human to answer questions or solve puzzles to access certain web services. Microsoft described the group as \u201cthe number one seller and creator of fraudulent Microsoft accounts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The investigation also identified several individuals based in Vietnam that Microsoft said were instrumental in developing and maintaining the websites associated with the activity, producing step-by-step videos explaining how to use their products to exploit fraudulent Microsoft accounts and even providing chat services to customers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Storm-1152\u2019s activities generated \u201cmillions of dollars in illicit revenue\u201d and cost Microsoft and other companies \u201ceven more to combat their criminal activity,\u201d Microsoft wrote. The company has submitted a criminal referral to U.S. law enforcement, Hogan-Burney wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft researchers identified multiple groups engaged in ransomware, data theft and extortion that have used Storm-1152 accounts, she added, including Scattered Spider, the industry term for a loose collection of financially-motivated, youth-led hacking groups perhaps best known for <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/com-scattered-spider-tradecraft\/\">successfully hacking MGM Resorts and Caesar\u2019s Entertainment<\/a> in September.<\/p>\n<p>The court order allowed Microsoft to seize hotmailbox[.]me, a site that sold Microsoft accounts from around the world. A snapshot of the site captured December 7 and available via the Internet Archive offered accounts for sale for a fraction of a cent each. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach account sold is unique and only sold once (Not shared),\u201d the webpage read. \u201cAll accounts are registered within the last 4 hours and are continuously checked before selling to customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/microsoft-seizes-infrastructure-of-top-cybercrime-group.png?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt class=\"wp-image-78560\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Screenshot of hotmailbox[.]me captured Dec. 7, 2023, and displayed on the Internet Archive.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> \u201cWith companies able to quickly identify and shut down fraudulent accounts, criminals require a greater quantity of accounts to circumvent mitigation efforts,\u201d Hogan-Burney wrote.
