Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) is one of the best 52-week high stocks to buy now. On July 21, the software giant released a patch for a vulnerability that affected the servers of the SharePoint document management software.

Hackers in recent weeks have exploited flaws in SharePoint, a document management system developed by Microsoft Corp., to try to steal sensitive data from hundreds of victims.

Although Microsoft acknowledged the SharePoint problem, the original fix did not prevent hacking. Right now government and organisations are worried

Microsoft confirmed “active” cyberattacks exploiting vulnerabilities in on-premises SharePoint Servers and released emergency patches for several versions of the systems.

Victims of the recent global hacking campaign include the National Institutes of Health and the National Nuclear Security Administration, officials said.

Microsoft has issued a high-priority security alert over ongoing cyberattacks targeting its SharePoint server software. The company urged affected users to apply critical security updates

Singapore's School of the Arts (SOTA) added that the global cyberattack campaign has already compromised organisations globally, including government agencies and multinational corporations.
