Microsoft: Chinese Hackers Exploiting SharePoint Flaw
BloombergTuesday, July 22, 2025 at 7:12:07 PM
Microsoft is calling out Chinese hackers linked to the government for taking advantage of a security weakness in SharePoint, its widely used document-sharing platform. The company says these groups are actively using the flaw to carry out cyberattacks. Bloomberg’s tech team discussed the implications on air.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another tech vulnerability—it’s a high-stakes security issue with geopolitical undertones. When state-backed hackers exploit widely used software like SharePoint, it puts businesses, governments, and even regular users at risk. It’s a reminder that cyber conflicts are playing out in the background of everyday tech, and companies (or countries) caught in the middle need to stay alert.
