The story so far

On October 19, ConnectWise, a software provider for managed services providers, which run IT for other businesses, suspended its Cloud Backup service, formerly known as SkyKick, after detecting unauthorized access. The outage left end users unable to back up data, access archives or restore data.

On October 22, Microsoft said a China-aligned hacking group it tracks as Storm-0940 had used ARTEX, an open-source framework that uses AI agents to automate offensive security testing, to speed up attacks on hundreds of organizations worldwide since September. The company said the case shows how attackers are building AI agents into familiar methods such as stolen credentials, password spraying and application abuse, so they can work faster and at greater scale.

On October 28, Microsoft disclosed Azure's quarterly revenue in dollars for the first time. It reported $33.2 billion for the July–September quarter, up 48% from a year earlier. The disclosure lets investors compare Azure more directly with Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud, whose parent companies already report cloud revenue in dollars.
