Microsoft servers hacked by Chinese groups

Chinese "threat actors" have hacked Microsoft's SharePoint document software servers and targeted the data of the businesses using it, the firm has said.

China state-backed Linen Typhoon and Violet Typhoon as well as China-based Storm-2603 were said to have "exploited vulnerabilities" in on-premises SharePoint servers, the kind used by firms, but not in its cloud-based service.

The US tech giant has released security updates in response and has advised all on-premises SharePoint server customers to install them.
