Microsoft has refuted allegations made by the Anonymous Sudan hacker collective regarding a breach in its database and unauthorized access to user data. The hacking syndicate claimed to possess a substantial amount of Microsoft user data, asserting that it was being offered for sale.

According to the group's announcement, they purportedly breached Microsoft's security and gained access to over 30 million accounts, including emails and passwords. However, Microsoft has categorically denied these claims, asserting that there is no evidence to support the alleged breach and emphasizing its commitment to user data protection.

Anonymous Sudan, a hacker collective, has allegedly put a price of $50,000 on a purported trove of Microsoft data, while offering a small subset of the database as proof. However, verifying the authenticity of the claim remains challenging.

Microsoft, on the other hand, firmly denies any data breach, stating that there were no indications of compromise in its database, and assures its customers that their information is secure. The company's preliminary analysis of the data provided by Anonymous Sudan suggests that the claim is illegitimate, and it has found no evidence of customer data being accessed or compromised.
