Microsoft users face more than 600 million cyber attacks every day, partly fuelled by a growing trend of cybercrime gangs working with nation states, according to a new report by the company.
In this year's Digital Defence report, Microsoft said countries like Russia, Iran and North Korea have changed how they worked in the last year, including starting to experiment with AI.
"We must find a way to stem the tide of this malicious cyber activity," said Tom Burt, the company's vice president of customer security and trust.
"That includes continuing to harden our digital domains to protect our networks, data, and people at all levels."
Russia appears to have "outsourced" some of its cyber espionage to criminal gangs, especially around its spying in Ukraine, and in June, a suspected cyber crime group managed to compromise at least 50 Ukrainian military devices.
