Microsoft says “strategic espionage” by state-backed Russian hackers has targeted government agencies, think tanks, businesses and aid groups in 42 countries supporting Ukraine.

It says in a report that hacking has been successful 29% of the time and that data was stolen in at least one-quarter of the successful network intrusions.
