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.

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.
