US Exploits Microsoft Flaw?

China has formally accused the United States of leveraging a vulnerability in Microsoft's email servers to conduct cyberattacks, specifically targeting China's military and defense sectors. The accusation suggests the US exploited the flaw to pilfer sensitive military data and compromise defense systems. This development escalates existing tensions in the ongoing cybersecurity conflict between the two nations. Microsoft has been at the center of similar cybersecurity storms involving China-linked hackers exploiting flaws in SharePoint servers to target organisations globally. These groups, including Linen Typhoon and Violet Typhoon, have been known for intellectual property theft and espionage. Microsoft has released security patches to fix the vulnerabilities.
