Security researchers at Google and Microsoft say they have evidence that hackers backed by China are exploiting a zero-day bug in Microsoft SharePoint, as companies around the world scramble to patch the flaw.

The bug, known officially as CVE-2025-53770 and discovered last weekend, allows hackers to steal sensitive private keys from self-hosted versions of SharePoint, a software server widely used by companies and organizations to store and share internal documents. Once exploited, an attacker can use the bug to remotely plant malware and gain access to the files and data stored within, as well as gain access to other systems on the same network.

    More primitive anti-china propaganda. Who believes this thick nonsense ? The western Plutocracy are really firing it up ! Imagine that the fascist techlords are now suddenly ‘trustworthy’ good guys - and joining up with ‘national security’ in a little ww3-mongering propaganda campaign. I’m sure there’s no cheating and the evidence would hold up - if anyone ever got to check it out oc… tsk tsk…
