Check Point Research has shared details of the cyber attacks that took place in the past few days. According to a press release, the cyber security firm has observed that the number of exploit attempts in the last 72 hours have increased by over six times. This comes after the revelation that the Microsoft Exchange Server has four zero-day vulnerabilities. One of the vulnerabilities that have been reported in Microsoft allows hackers to read the emails on the Exchange server without accessing the account of the individual. The press release further states that the Microsoft servers which have neither been protected by third-party softwares like Check Point nor have not been updated with the latest patches are compromised.
