Assistant Minister for Defence Andrew Hastie has cautioned Australian businesses and entities, urging them to follow new guidelines released by the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) to install new patches for the Microsoft Exchange platform.
Assistant Minister Hastie addressed the importance of updating the platform with new security measures to mitigate the susceptibilities of the service.
“Patches previously released by Microsoft in March 2021 do not remediate these new vulnerabilities, and organisations must urgently apply new updates to prevent potential compromise,” he outlined.
“This is a critically important task for Australian businesses and organisations.
“The ACSC has identified extensive targeting and compromises of Australian organisations with vulnerable Microsoft Exchange deployments.
“People should visit the new alert, available at cyber.gov.au, to identify the steps outlined by the ACSC and access the Microsoft guidance.”
