Key Points
During July 2025, a critical SharePoint vulnerability
applied to the SharePoint zero-day exploit impacts global companies — protection steps
This cyber-attack compromised the security of about 100 organizations and potentially millions of others.
Security researchers at Eye Security and the Shadow server Foundation discovered that it
was exploited by hackers in order to access systems and install back doors and wait to gain long term access.

Details of the SharePoint breach.Who Was Affected?
Researchers on the cyber security teams spotted an untouched vulnerability, called “Tool Shell” (CVE‑2025‑49706), in
self‑managed SharePoint servers.
Hackers took advantage of it beginning on July 18 acquiring remote code execution and total server control.
Microsoft has outlined mitigation steps, including enabling AMSI and rotating machine keys, in its official advisory on disrupting active exploitation of SharePoint vulnerabilities
Who Was Affected by This Microsoft Server Hack?
So far, about hundreds of firms and organizations possibly impacted have confirmed breaches
but targets span banks, healthcare, industrial firms, auditors, government bodies, and universities.
The FBI, U.K.’s NCSC, and other international agencies are now investigating.

Why this Hack Is Serious
- The exploit enabled thieves to retrieve cryptographic keys which implies that not only servers that have been patched are susceptible to hacking.
- More than thousands of servers SharePoint servers remain at risk online.
- Cyber security experts warn that installing patches won't get rid of existing backdoors—at that point a breach believed approach is basically fundamental.
How to safeguard your SharePoint environment from zero-day threats

Hack of Microsoft server demonstrates the strength of a security flaw in a popular software.
The victims are close to 100 and the servers potentially threatened are over eight thousand systems: the correct choice is to act now.
Patch your Microsoft SharePoint servers, investigate systems that have been behaving suspiciously and act as though a compromise has already occurred.
This campaign should be a wake-up call, to be more guarded, swift and vigilant.
