In a announcement, the hacker group known as Darkmeta has claimed responsibility for a series of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks targeting multiple Microsoft platforms. The group alleges that their attacks have been ongoing for over 27 hours, causing significant disruptions to Microsoft’s online services.
Duration and Impact
Darkmeta’s statement asserts that the attacks have severely impacted Microsoft Support Systems, rendering the company unable to communicate effectively with its users worldwide. This disruption has reportedly made it impossible for customers to file complaints or seek assistance through Microsoft’s website.
The group has also indicated that they are targeting different segments within Microsoft and have plans to extend their attacks to the Microsoft Store, potentially causing further service outages.
Effects on Microsoft Platforms
According to Darkmeta, the cyber assault has already affected the official Microsoft News application and website, which are allegedly malfunctioning due to the attacks. The hacker group hinted that more Microsoft platforms might experience similar issues as their campaign continues.
