Microsoft seemingly confirms Chinese hackers behind SharePoint server attacks
TechRadarWednesday, July 23, 2025 at 9:25:25 AM
Microsoft just fixed two serious security holes in its SharePoint servers, but the damage might already be done. The company quietly pointed fingers at Chinese hackers as the likely culprits behind these attacks, which targeted on-premise versions of the collaboration software. While the patches are out now, organizations using vulnerable systems could still be at risk if they don't act fast.
Editor’s Note: This isn't just another tech vulnerability—it's a wake-up call for businesses still running older SharePoint setups. When state-linked hackers exploit flaws in widely used software, it puts sensitive corporate data at risk. The fact that Microsoft isn't shouting about the Chinese connection suggests there's some delicate geopolitics at play here too. Bottom line? If your IT team hasn't patched SharePoint yet, this is your nudge to make it happen.
