Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) is one of the best 52-week high stocks to buy now. On July 21, the software giant released a patch for a vulnerability that affected the servers of the SharePoint document management software.
Hackers in recent weeks have exploited flaws in SharePoint, a document management system developed by Microsoft Corp., to try to steal sensitive data from hundreds of victims.
Microsoft confirmed “active” cyberattacks exploiting vulnerabilities in on-premises SharePoint Servers and released emergency patches for several versions of the systems.
Although Microsoft acknowledged the SharePoint problem, the original fix did not prevent hacking. Right now government and organisations are worried
Victims of the recent global hacking campaign include the National Institutes of Health and the National Nuclear Security Administration, officials said.
Hackers exploited a security flaw in common Microsoft Corp. software to breach governments, businesses and other organizations across the globe and steal sensitive information, according to officials and cybersecurity researchers.
Singapore's School of the Arts (SOTA) added that the global cyberattack campaign has already compromised organisations globally, including government agencies and multinational corporations.
