Recent Attacks Targeting Microsoft Exchange

Over the past week, many organisations across all market sectors have fallen victim to a recent cyber-attack targeting Microsoft Exchange Server Vulnerabilities. As a result of these vulnerabilities being exploited, adversaries can access Microsoft Exchange servers and allow the installation of additional tools to facilitate long-term access into victims’ environments. There has also been a report of multiple threat actors leveraging these zero-day vulnerabilities, meaning post-exploitation activity may vary depending on the purpose of the different threat actors.

In the news:

• “Exchange email hack: Hundreds of UK firms compromised“
• “University of Central Lancashire among three hit by cyber-attacks“
• “At Least 30,000 Organisations Newly Hacked Via Holes in Microsoft’s Email Software“

Our Security Operations Centre (SOC) Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Service utilises Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR which delivers a consolidated approach to cyber security, leveraging existing investments in perimeter security, log collector platforms and more.
