Warlock ransomware exploits SharePoint in critical infrastructure attacks
- Engineer — Plan: Active exploitation of SharePoint for initial access is confirmed across multiple org types, but no specific CVE, KEV listing, or PoC is surfaced in the signals; ensure SharePoint is fully patched and audit authentication/access logs for anomalous behavior this sprint.
- SOC/IR — Act: An active China-linked ransomware campaign is using SharePoint exploitation as the entry point against water, telecom, government, and education targets; hunt for SharePoint exploitation indicators (unusual web shell activity, anonymous auth attempts) and check whether your estate’s sector matches the targeting profile.
- Leader — Act: A named state-linked ransomware group is actively targeting water utilities, telecom operators, regional governments, and universities via SharePoint — if your organization operates in any of these sectors, brief leadership now and confirm SharePoint patch posture and segmentation with engineering before this surfaces as a board question.
