Swiss federal IT office hit by cyberattack

Switzerland's Federal Office of Information Technology, Systems and Telecommunication (FOITT) experienced a cyberattack targeting its SharePoint servers, resulting in approximately 200 compromised accounts. Internet access to the affected systems was restricted to federal administration personnel only, and authorities found no evidence of additional data exfiltration.

Why it matters: Swiss federal government employees and external parties relying on FOITT services should verify account security and monitor for credential misuse, while other critical infrastructure operators should assess their own SharePoint configurations for similar vulnerabilities.
