They’ve been in and out of the news since early January. What we’re [now learning ](https://www.zdnet.com/article/everything-you-need-to-know-about-microsoft-exchange-server-hack/)is that a state-sponsored threat group from China is actively exploiting the vulnerabilities, and other cyber attackers have adopted them in widespread attacks. It’s reported that hackers are exploiting them to drop ransomware. The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) believes that over 3,000 Microsoft Exchange email servers used by UK organisations haven't had the critical security patches applied and therefore remain at risk from cyber attackers who want to take advantage of the vulnerabilities. Apparently,[ tens of thousands of organisations](https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-exchange-server-zero-day-attacks-malicious-software-found-on-2300-machines-in-uk/) around the world have had their email servers compromised by the cyber attacks targeting Microsoft Exchange, potentially putting large amounts of sensitive information into the hands of hackers. **Are your servers affected?** The affected Exchange Server versions are: - Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 - Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 - Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 If you use any of these in your business, the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) advises that you take action immediately to install the latest updates. **What to do** To identify whether your Exchange Server has been compromised with security scripts, check here:[ GitHub](https://hs-5285088.t.hubspotfree-h2.net/e2t/tc/VWGk2N4QylX3W3xRLmG5LVHXGW6YVQGc4pd9SdN3cFw5Z3lGn5V1-WJV7CgH3HW5J0JnR4Xt-n8W1DXDBJ26r5xZW4Tq3Ph37lQ4RW465hRx8fRrBpW12X63j1291-JW3B-Jwq1c6gJxW6PYDp56nBt4NW47q4sd2MBXGBW1y7NRc4fmpp9W91g9YQ3XVSC_W7XJhpN3gvnDPW7VSqJ-7pSk9zW93NV3C28CYn5W766pn5917GrNW4xBgj-5M01pyW42dBqn8lVjDVW8wx7nN2R93_JV3cVJW8gn5lCW4D_f7N4dm28LW5K0gsD4_JJv6W7FMxKK2p-0tSW9kw63G73F7gyW94ynXW2Yc-stV3SG9j295xVF3dTr1) If your organisation runs an out-of-support version of Exchange Server, NCSC recommends updating to a supported version without delay. It also advises you to report any suspected compromises[ on its website](https://report.ncsc.gov.uk/).
