Some of the attacks that targeted organizations using an exploit in Microsoft’s SharePoint server platform over the last few days have been linked to hacking groups affiliated with the Chinese government, according to a new Microsoft security blog. “As of this writing, Microsoft has observed two named Chinese nation-state actors, Linen Typhoon and Violet Typhoon, exploiting these vulnerabilities targeting internet-facing SharePoint servers,” Microsoft said on Tuesday.
” Eye Security told BleepingComputer it’s identified 54 organizations that have been breached, including a private university and a private energy operator in California, and a federal government health organization. The Washington Post reports that anonymous sources working on the SharePoint intrusions said they’ve also identified that some attacks were connected to IP addresses inside China.
