REUTERS\/Dado Ruvic\/Illustration<\/figcaption><p>FRANKFURT (Reuters) &#8211; The European Banking Authority on Monday said it had been targeted by hackers, although no data had been obtained and it was redoubling efforts to shield itself amid a global cyber attack exploiting flaws in Microsoft\u2019s mail server software.<\/p>\n<p>The European Union\u2019s banking regulator, which gathers and stores swathes of sensitive data about banks and their lending, said it believed the cyber attack had struck only its email servers.<\/p>\n<p>It is the latest prominent victim among tens of thousands of organisations in Asia and Europe targeted in a campaign which Microsoft Corp says makes use of previously undetected vulnerabilities in different versions of its mail server software.<\/p>\n<p>The hacks are continuing despite emergency patches issued by Microsoft, which has said it is working with government agencies and security companies to help customers.<\/p>\n<p>However, one scan of connected devices showed only 10% of those vulnerable had installed the patches by Friday, though the number was rising.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft and a person working with the U.S. response blamed the initial wave of attacks on a Chinese government-backed actor. A Chinese government spokesman said the country was not behind the intrusions.<\/p>\n<p>What started as a controlled attack late last year against a few classic espionage targets grew last month to a widespread campaign. More attacks are expected from other hackers as the code used to take control of the mail servers spreads.<\/p>\n<p>All of those affected appear to run Web versions of email client Outlook and host them on their own machines, instead of relying on cloud providers.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-microsoft-hack-eba\/european-banking-regulator-eba-targeted-in-microsoft-hacking-idUSKBN2B01RP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE PHOTO: Silhouettes of laptop and mobile<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":115993,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23054],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
