A China-linked threat group tracked as Storm-2603 has used the SharePoint ToolShell flaws to plant a backdoor that never touches the disk.
Summary
The group then tried to run Warlock ransomware on the same network. The break-in hit an on-premises SharePoint server and ended with a ransomware launch that security software blocked.
This is a brief wire summary, the full story (linked below) has the complete details.
KazaSec's take
Incidents like this rarely start with the headline event itself, they usually trace back to an exposed remote-access endpoint, an unpatched perimeter system, or a credential phished weeks earlier. The organizations that recover fastest are the ones that tested their defenses and their incident response plan before they needed them.
