07:27 AM EDT, 04/03/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Microsoft's ( MSFT ) corporate culture contributed to the July 2023 intrusion into the Exchange Online system by a suspected Chinese hacking group, a federal agency said in a review published Tuesday.

The US Department of Homeland Security's Cyber Safety Review Board said "operational and strategic decisions" by Microsoft ( MSFT ) allowed the breach of the cloud-computing service to take place.

The board urged Microsoft ( MSFT ) to "develop and publicly share a plan with specific timelines to make fundamental, security-focused reforms across the company and its suite of products."

The board said Microsoft ( MSFT ) cooperated with the review.

Microsoft ( MSFT ) did not immediately reply to MT Newswires' request for comment.
