Microsoft and CrowdStrike announced today that they've partnered to connect the aliases used for specific threat groups without actually using a single naming standard. As the two companies explained on Monday, this will be done by mapping (or linking) the different names their security analysts use for each group they track. Microsoft has updated its threat actor reference guide with a list of common hacking groups tracked by CrowdStrike and Redmond, all mapped using each company's naming sys
