Trust Issues: When Cybersecurity’s Biggest Threat is Looking Legit!
Microsoft SharePoint attacks have been traced to China, impacting over 400 organizations. These stealthy villains use spoofing flaws and remote code execution bugs to deploy ransomware. In an age where the most dangerous attacks wear the best disguises, security teams are learning that trust might just be their biggest enemy.
Hot Take:
Is it just me, or has cybersecurity turned into an episode of “The Great Pretender”? From Chinese hackers donning Microsoft SharePoint masks to North Korean IT geniuses moonlighting as remote workers, it seems the most dangerous threats are those that wear a convincing disguise.
