Krebs on Security: Russia Hacked Routers to Steal Microsoft Office Tokens

April 7, 2026

Incident Summary

Security researchers said Russian military-linked hackers exploited vulnerabilities in older internet routers to steal Microsoft Office authentication tokens. The incident involves compromise of network edge devices rather than a direct breach of Microsoft Copilot itself. It matters because stolen tokens can enable unauthorized access to Microsoft Office accounts without needing passwords. Users and organizations relying on the affected routers are potentially impacted. Limited public details are available about the scale, specific router models, or remediation status.
