New: Microsoft says it has warned "democracy-focused organizations" in its AccountGuard program of 781 cyberattacks since last August. 95% targeted U.S. orgs.

Interesting takeaways in this - Microsoft has notified *10K* victims of state-sponsored activity against them. That gives you a taste of the scale, esp when you consider they're just one (huge) company and these are just the victims they found/notified. https://t.co/tXq3ozHkl6

Microsoft warns 10k customers they're being targeted by nation-state #hackers. Large enterprises and political orgs suffer the brunt.
The majority of them was coming from actors in Iran, Russia and North Korea.
