The company uncovers evidence that at least three China-based hacking groups are abusing the zero-day flaw in SharePoint software to access servers.

At least 54 organizations have been breached in the attacks. Some of the attacks that targeted organizations using an exploit in Microsoft’s SharePoint server platform over the last few days have been linked to hacking groups affiliated with the Chinese government, according to a new Microsoft security blog.

The tech giants have evidence that Chinese hackers are exploiting the new bug, but warned "multiple actors" are also hacking into affected SharePoint systems.
