Summary
Microsoft's Digital Crimes Unit has seized 338 websites associated with the RaccoonO365 phishing service, a rapidly growing tool for stealing Microsoft 365 credentials, particularly affecting the healthcare industry. This disruption, authorized by a court order, cuts off cybercriminals from their victims and aims to protect sensitive data in a sector already vulnerable to cyberattacks. Notably, at least 20 U.S. healthcare organizations have been compromised, threatening patient safety and service continuity. The case underscores the urgent need for enhanced cybersecurity measures in healthcare to safeguard against such prevalent threats.
