Microsoft obtained a court order to seize infrastructure used by Storm-1152, a Vietnam-based group that sold approximately 750 million fraudulent Microsoft accounts and identity verification bypass tools through a network of illicit websites and social media pages, netting operators millions in revenue. Microsoft's associate general counsel Amy Hogan-Burney said fraudulent accounts act as "the gateway to a host of cybercrime" including phishing, DDoS and identity theft. Arkose Labs provided the threat intelligence that was instrumental in identifying the group and enabling legal action.
