Azure CLI Password Spray Hits at Least 78 Microsoft Accounts in 81M+ Attempts

Cybersecurity researchers at Huntress identified a large-scale password spray attack targeting Microsoft Azure command-line interface accounts, resulting in the compromise of at least 78 accounts across over 81 million login attempts. The attack originated from an IPv6 address range controlled by LSHIY LLC between June 12 and June 26.

Why it matters: If your organization uses Azure CLI, verify account access logs for June 12-26 and enforce multi-factor authentication to prevent credential-based compromise.
