The article discusses recent cyberattacks targeting South Africa's Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation, linked to vulnerabilities in Microsoft Corp.'s SharePoint servers. The department confirmed the breach and implemented countermeasures, including software patches from Microsoft. According to cybersecurity firm Eye Security, approximately 400 entities worldwide, including government agencies and corporations, have been compromised, with the majority of victims located in the United States, followed by countries such as Mauritius, Jordan, South Africa, and the Netherlands. Microsoft has indicated that the attacks are primarily aimed at clients managing SharePoint on their own networks rather than through cloud services. [Extracted from the article] |
