A massive cyber espionage attack just exposed a serious flaw in Microsoft’s SharePoint servers, hitting around 100 organizations, mostly in the U.S. and Germany. Dubbed a “zero-day” exploit, the hackers slipped in undetected using a vulnerability Microsoft hadn’t patched yet. Security experts say this could be just the tip of the iceberg, with thousands more servers still at risk. While Microsoft rushed out a fix, experts warn patching alone might not be enough. Google linked the attack to a China-based group, but the full scope remains unclear.
