By Sergiu Gatlan

AI Summary

Nearly 22,000 Microsoft Exchange servers exposed to the internet remain unpatched against a high-severity authentication bypass vulnerability that allows attackers to hijack all user mailboxes on affected instances. The scale of exposure is particularly significant given Exchange's role as a primary email and calendar infrastructure component in enterprise environments. Administrators should cross-reference their Exchange deployments against Microsoft's patching guidance and prioritize internet-facing instances.
