Could be risky

Ransom-seeking hackers have begun taking advantage of a recently disclosed flaw in Microsoft’s widely used mail server software, a researcher said late Wednesday - a serious escalation that could portend widespread digital disruption.

The disclosure, made on Twitter by security programme manager Phillip Misner, is the realisation of worries that have been coursing through the security community for days.

Since March 2, when Microsoft announced the discovery of serious vulnerabilities in its Exchange software, experts have warned that it was only a matter of time before ransomware gangs began using them to shake down organisations across the internet.

The weird thing is that despite the threat, Vole has issued a patch and yet for some reason company networks are not getting updated.
