In a joint statement from the Ministers for Home Affairs, Foreign Affairs, and Defence, the government issued its pointed statement against China‘s Ministry of State Security for developing exploits that could have targeted thousands of Australian organisations. “These actions have undermined international stability and security by opening the door to a range of other actors, including cybercriminals, who continue to exploit this vulnerability for illicit gain,” the statement read.

Microsoft Resources for Exchange Flaws and an Alert from CISA

Thursday, March 11, 2021 As we alerted our readers last week, Microsoft announced that its Exchange email servers have been compromised, which is estimated to affect at least 30,000 companies based in the United States. It is reported that the hackers installed web shells (and sometimes multiple web shells) into Microsoft’s customers’ email servers, giving the hackers back doors into the victims’ email content. These web shells allow the attackers to have complete remote control over the victims’ emails and to access other information technology assets of the victims. This means they can access all the data contained in the emails and can plant malware or ransomware directly into a company’s system without having to use a phishing attack that would rely on an employee to introduce the malicious code into the system.
