Microsoft has announced that the Russian-based agency behind last year’s massive SolarWinds cyberattack has targeted hundreds more companies and organizations in its latest wave of attacks on U.S.-based computer systems, Reuters reports.

Microsoft, in a blog post dated Oct. 24, said Nobelium’s latest wave targeted “resellers and other technology service providers” of cloud services.

Those attacks were part of a broader campaign over the summer, Microsoft said, adding it had notified 609 customers between July 1 and Oct. 19 that they had been attacked, the report added.

Just a small percent of the latest attempts were successful, Reuters quoted Microsoft telling the New York Times.
