In April 2020, Microsoft acquired Affirmed Networks. Sometime prior to that, Storm-0558 likely gained access to a device used by one of the company’s engineer, and retained that access following the acquisition, which allowed the threat actor to move laterally into Microsoft’s corporate environment. This may have eventually led to the Microsoft signing key compromise.
