The American technological giant Microsoft said that Chinese cyber -chasers took advantage of the vulnerabilities in the Scharepoint server security system.

To protect customers from these vulnerabilities, complex security updates were issued for all supported versions of SHARAREPOINT servers, they are recommended to produce these updates.
The article indicates that these updates eliminate the vulnerabilities that are discussed: “Microsoft noticed that two Chinese state agents under the names of Linen Typhoon and Violet Typhoon took advantage of these vulnerabilities, attacking Scharepoint servers.”
Another Chinese threatening subject under the name “Storm-2603” also used these vulnerabilities. The investigation of whether other threatening subjects use these vulnerabilities continues.
Microsoft believes that threatening subjects will continue their attacks on the urgent internal systems SharePoint.
