Microsoft has offered users of Exchange Server a means of mitigating the so-called ProxyLogon attack, a one-click tool that it says has been tested across the 2013, 2016 and 2019 versions of Exchange Server.
But the company said the tool was not totally fool-proof.
The company has not said anything about reports emerging last Friday that exploit code for attacking mail servers had been leaked by Microsoft's security partners.
The Wall Street Journal
cited "people familiar with the matter" as making the claim. A wave of attacks used code similar to that which Microsoft provided to anti-virus companies on 23 February, the report claimed.
