Of these highly-sensitive accounts, only 11% had a multi-factor authentication (MFA) solution enabled, as of January 2020, Microsoft said.<\/p>\n<p>In most cases, the account hacks happen after rather simplistic attacks. The primary sources of most hacks of Microsoft accounts was password spraying, a technique during which an attacker picks a common and easy-to-guess password, and goes through a long list of usernames until they get a hit and can access an account using said password.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"img aspect-set\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/zdnet3.cbsistatic.com\/hub\/i\/2020\/03\/06\/f10095de-634c-4b76-8c7e-93ec9b0e4022\/rsa-msft-password-spray.png\" class alt=\"rsa-msft-password-spray.png\"><\/span> <span class=\"credit\">Image: Microsoft<\/span> <\/p>\n<p>The second source of account hacks, Microsoft said, was password replays, a technique that involves an attacker taking credentials leaked at another company and then trying the same credentials on a Microsoft account, hoping the user reused usernames and passwords.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We know that 60% of users reuse passwords. It&#8217;s super common,&#8221; said Lee Walker, Identity and Security Architect at Microsoft. &#8220;Don&#8217;t be confused.
