Storm-2603 exploits SharePoint flaws to deploy Warlock ransomware, affecting 400+ victims. Microsoft urges mitigation.
The name was coined by Dinh Ho Anh, a researcher from Khoa of Viettel Cyber Security, who developed the exploit. The researcher said he picked the name because it exploited ToolPane.aspx, a component for assembling the side panel view in the SharePoint user interface.
Department of Homeland Security headquarters, several of its agencies and the Department of Health and Human Services have been hacked as part of a wider breach of Microsoft SharePoint.
