Microsoft Outlook hack leaves thousands of compromised servers vulnerable, according to White House
The White House has urged computer network operators to take additional steps to work out if their systems were targeted by a hack of Microsoft’s Outlook email program, saying a recent software patch still left serious vulnerabilities.
Key points:
- The Microsoft fix for the hack still leaves a so-called back door open to compromised servers
- Top US security officials are working to decide what next steps to take following the breach
- A source told Reuters more than 20,000 US organisations have been compromised by the hack
“This is an active threat still developing and we urge network operators to take it very seriously,” a White House official said in a statement.
