Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) recently confirmed a cyberattack where Russian state-sponsored hackers accessed sensitive employee data through the company’s Office 365 email environment in May 2023. This breach has led to the exposure of personal information, including driver’s licenses, credit card numbers, and Social Security numbers, affecting at least 16 employees.

In line with legal requirements, HPE began notifying impacted individuals in January 2025. The breach was traced to Cozy Bear, a Russian hacking group tied to other major attacks like the 2020 SolarWinds incident. Alongside the email breach, there was also a breach of HPE’s SharePoint server, indicating a broader infiltration. The company has a history of security breaches, with previous incidents involving Chinese and other threat actors.
