In a surprise twist in the tech world, the Chinese Embassy in the U.S. has firmly rejected accusations linking it to recent cyberattacks on Microsoft’s SharePoint servers. The embassy emphasized that cyberattacks are a global threat, reminding everyone that even China faces similar challenges. 🌐
Microsoft’s own blog revealed that its monitoring had spotted two groups, "Linen Typhoon" and "Violet Typhoon," exploiting vulnerabilities in its on-premises SharePoint servers. Moreover, a third group based in China is reported to have exploited a previously unknown zero-day flaw. Tech experts acted fast by releasing security patches across supported versions to keep systems safe. 🔒
Spokesperson Liu Pengyu reiterated that cyberattacks are a universal issue and baseless accusations only muddy the waters. For tech enthusiasts and early professionals who depend on secure digital tools in our fast-paced lives, this serves as a reminder to stay updated and prioritize cybersecurity.
