The number of companies and organizations compromised by a security vulnerability in Microsoft Corp.’s SharePoint servers is increasing rapidly, with the tally of victims soaring more than six-fold in a few days, according to one research firm. Hackers have breached about 400 government agencies, corporations, and other groups, with most victims in the US, followed by Mauritius, Jordan, South Africa, and the Netherlands. The hacks are among the latest major breaches that Microsoft has blamed, at least in part, on China.
