Microsoft’s SharePoint Snafu: China’s Cyber Gangs Exploit Zero-Day Bugs – Patch Now or Pay Later!
Microsoft patches failed to fix on-prem SharePoint, which is now under zero-day attack. Three Chinese groups, including government-backed Linen Typhoon and Violet Typhoon, are exploiting vulnerabilities. The good news? Patches are here. The bad? If your SharePoint is exposed online, you might have been compromised. Time for some urgent software TLC!
Hot Take:
Hold on to your keyboards, folks! It seems like Microsoft’s SharePoint servers are the new all-you-can-hack buffet for Chinese cyber groups. While Microsoft is handing out patches like candy on Halloween, these cyber tricksters are having a field day exploiting vulnerabilities faster than you can say “zero-day”. Lock your servers, update your systems, and maybe consider a digital garlic necklace to keep those cyber-vampires at bay!
Key Points:
– Three Chinese groups are exploiting Microsoft SharePoint server vulnerabilities.
– Two groups, Linen Typhoon and Violet Typhoon, are government-backed.
– The third group, Storm-2603, is possibly China-based but not government-affiliated.
– Microsoft has released patches for the vulnerabilities, but the damage might have already been done.
– If your SharePoint server is online, there’s a high chance it’s already been compromised.
