Leaked, Patched, and Still Hacked: The SharePoint Zero-Day Crisis

This week we explore the recent Microsoft SharePoint vulnerability that has led to widespread exploitation by ransomware gangs and Chinese State-sponsored hackers. We also cover the confirmed compromise of multiple US agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, in a large-scale cyber espionage campaign. Kevin Johnson joins to discuss the implications of these events, the underlying issues with patching systems, and the complexities of protecting applications like SharePoint. Stay informed on the latest cybersecurity developments and get insights on what might have gone wrong. Plus, get a peek at what’s happening at Black Hat and DEF CON in Vegas.
