Over 400 organizations worldwide fell victim to Chinese hackers exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities in Microsoft SharePoint servers, including the Departments of Energy, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services. The attack began Friday using the "ToolShell" exploit that bypasses multi-factor authentication. Three Chinese threat groups are involved: Storm-2603 deployed Warlock ransomware starting July 18, while government-affiliated Linen Typhoon and Violet Typhoon focused on stealing intellectual property and espionage. Microsoft released emergency patches Monday, but nearly 11,000 SharePoint instances remained exposed Wednesday. Federal agencies report no confirmed data breaches so far, though investigations continue. Source: [CyberScoop](https://cyberscoop.com/microsoft-sharepoint-attacks-400-victims-us-agencies/)
