Threat actors exploit SharePoint flaws to access internal systems, steal sensitive data, and carry out surveillance, impersonation, and extortion.
It's not just data theft. A China-based hacking group is using a flaw in vulnerable SharePoint servers to deliver ransomware, Microsoft warns.
Microsoft has warned that Chinese state-sponsored hackers have breached its SharePoint software used by the US agency responsible for maintaining and modernizing the nation’s stockpile of nuclear weapons, according to a report.
