The Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB) will focus on risks to
cloud computing infrastructure, including identity and authentication
management, and will look at all relevant cloud service providers, the report
said, citing people familiar with the matter.
The report comes after Oregon Senator Ron Wyden in July
asked the Federal Trade Commission, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure
Security Agency (CISA), and the Justice Department to "take action"
against Microsoft following the hack.
Microsoft has been under increasing scrutiny following
revelations that hackers allegedly operating on Beijing's behalf got hold of
one of its cryptographic keys and took advantage of a coding flaw to win
sweeping access to the company's cloud email platform.
That access was used to spy on the communications of US
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and senior State Department diplomats.
The US House of Representatives Oversight Committee last
week said it was opening an investigation into China's suspected involvement in
recent breaches of Commerce and State Department email systems.
