Hackers exploiting SharePoint zero-day seen targeting government agencies


Thousands of SharePoint servers could be vulnerable to hackers, according to cybersecurity firms.

Over the weekend U.S. cybersecurity agency CISA published an alert, warning that hackers were exploiting a previously unknown bug — known as a “ zero-day ” — in Microsoft’s enterprise data management product SharePoint. While it’s still early to draw definitive conclusions, it appears that the hackers who first started abusing this flaw were targeting government organizations, according to Silas Cutler, the principal researcher at Censys, a cybersecurity firm that monitors hacking activities on the internet.
