CyberScoop reports that Microsoft has exposed four foreign and two U.S.-based developers behind the international cybercrime network Storm-2139, which has been engaging in hacking-as-a-service activities involving the compromise of Azure OpenAI accounts to create deepfakes of celebrities and other public figures.

Microsoft's reveal of Storm-2139 creators and providers comes as part of an amendment to its initial complaint filed with a Virginia court pushing for the sequestration of the group's infrastructure in December.

The complaint was reported by Microsoft to have caused a stir within Storm-2139, with a user from a Discord server purportedly operated by Krysiak expressing willingness to cooperate with the company's investigation into the illicit scheme.
