The Chinese government has warned against using cyber security issues to defame the country, following the hacker attacks on Microsoft software. Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said in Beijing on Wednesday that he was not aware of the exact circumstances of the attacks.

In a blog post Tuesday, Microsoft said it observed hackers attempting to “gain initial access to target organizations.” According to Microsoft, those involved included hacking groups called Linen Typhoon and Violet Typhoon—which Microsoft said are linked to the Chinese government—and China-based group Storm-2603.

Two Chinese nation-state actors and one China-based threat actor have tried to exploit the vulnerability for weeks, Microsoft said.
