Microsoft is facing global fallout from a serious SharePoint server flaw that has impacted more than 400 organizations, according to Bloomberg. Dutch cybersecurity firm Eye Security reported a sixfold surge in SharePoint-related cyberattack victims within days. The U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration and the National Institutes of Health were among those breached. South Africa's National Treasury has confirmed the presence of malware in its network and is collaborating with Microsoft to address the issue. Eye Security’s Vaisha Bernard warned that the actual number of victims may be higher due to undetectable methods of compromising servers. Microsoft said it is aware of ongoing attacks on on-premises SharePoint Server users exploiting vulnerabilities only partially fixed in the July Security Update.
