Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Microsoft Says Chinese Hackers Breached SharePoint Servers
Caption: Microsoft Says Chinese Hackers Breached SharePoint Servers. Microsoft has revealed that Chinese-linked hacking groups have breached its on-premises SharePoint servers, targeting sensitive business data. The groups, codenamed Linen Typhoon, Violet Typhoon, and Storm-2603, are believed to be state-backed and exploited known vulnerabilities in self-hosted SharePoint systems, not Microsoft's cloud-based services. The tech giant has issued urgent security updates and urged all users running on-premises servers to patch their systems immediately. Microsoft says it has "high confidence" that these attackers will continue targeting unpatched systems, and investigations are ongoing. Cybersecurity firm Mandiant, part of Google Cloud, confirmed several victims across multiple sectors globally, particularly among governments and enterprises still relying on local SharePoint installations. More details are expected as Microsoft continues to monitor the threat. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
