Microsoft using lawyers to tackle top Russian hacking group

US Tech giant Microsoft is going after a Russian hacking group believed to be connected to the country's intelligence agency GRU and behind several high-profile cyber attacks including on the NATO and the Hillary Clinton campaign.

According to a report in The Daily Beast late on Friday, Microsoft was using lawyers to take on the hacker group known as Fancy Bear -- accusing it of computer intrusion, cybersquatting and infringing on Microsoft's trademarks.
