It was very recently reported that hackers are actively exploiting a vulnerability in Microsoft SharePoint servers, designated CVE-2019-0604, and are using it to inject China Chopper web shell, which would allow attackers to inject various commands.
The attack was discovered by Canadian and Saudi Arabian security researchers, and raised the alarms about the attack on the outdated servers. It is unknown if the attackers are a state sponsored group from China, but given the name of the web shell, the possibility is still on the table.
The fix for protecting against the vulnerability is to update your server, if you are running a SharePoint server that is.
