Bank of America just raised its EUR/USD forecast
Investing.com -- Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT). has limited Chinese companies’ access to early notifications about cybersecurity vulnerabilities in its technology following an investigation into a possible leak that may have enabled a series of hacks targeting its SharePoint software.
The change, implemented last month, restricts access for program participants in countries where companies must report vulnerabilities to their governments, including China, according to David Cuddy, a Microsoft spokesperson, as reported by Bloomberg news.
The Microsoft Active Protections Program (MAPP) typically provides security software companies worldwide with advance details about flaws in Microsoft products to help them develop updated protections for customers more quickly.
This decision follows a campaign of cyberattacks that Microsoft attributed to state-sponsored hackers in China who exploited security weaknesses in SharePoint servers. The attacks compromised more than 400 government agencies and corporations, including the US National Nuclear Security Administration, which is responsible for designing and maintaining the country’s nuclear weapons.
