Microsoft release advisory on Protecting on-premises Exchange Servers following recent attacks
1 month ago
On-premise Microsoft Exchange servers have been the target of increasing attacks over the recent weeks, with tens of thousands of servers being compromised.
Microsoft notes the target of these attacks were servers most often used by small and medium-sized businesses.
The attackers began as a nation-state attack but have now moved to be exploited by other criminal organizations, including new ransomware attacks, with the potential for other malicious activities.
Microsoft notes that due to the breadth of the attacks, the severity of these exploits meant protecting your systems was critical. Due to this, in addition to the regular software updates, Microsoft was also providing specific updates for older and out-of-support software with the intent to make it as easy as possible to quickly protect your business.
