The Russian hackers behind the SolarWinds attack on the federal government are launching a new global cyberattack on more than 150 government agencies, think tanks, and other organizations, according to Microsoft.

The hacking group, which Microsoft calls “Nobelium,” went after 3,000 email accounts within multiple organizations this week, most of which were in the United States, the software giant said in a report on Thursday.
