Microsoft is gradually reducing its business in Russia until there is almost nothing left of it there. This was announced by the president of the company Brad Smith.

In March, Microsoft suspended sales of goods and services in Russia due to the war in Ukraine.

In April, Microsoft reported in a special report that Russia had begun hacking attacks on Ukraine as early as March 2021 in preparation for more massive cyberattacks during the war. Microsoft claims that hackers use phishing and open vulnerabilities to gain access to their targets. Attacking groups modify their malware each time to avoid detection. “Microsoft security teams worked closely with Ukrainian officials and cybersecurity professionals in government organizations and private enterprises to identify and mitigate threats to Ukrainian networks,” the report says.
