In a shocking revelation, cybersecurity researchers have unmasked the previously mysterious NightEagle APT, an elite group of hackers who have apparently been testing their Microsoft Exchange hacking skills like teenagers playing video games. Industry insiders are already speculating that Microsoft Exchange is about to reach a new level of celebrity among hacking circles, vying for the top spot with overly complicated password systems and “unbreakable” encryption methods.

The hacker collective, undoubtedly prolific computer science graduates from the University of Misguided Intentions, has been seen targeting China’s highest echelons of government, defense, and technology sectors. The intent? Perhaps just to prove their IT professors wrong when they said, “Nobody is gonna be impressed by hacking Exchange servers.”

Security firm QiAnXin’s RedDrip Team—known for their impeccable timing and outstanding dramatics—reported that NightEagle has been soaring through digital defenses since 2023. It’s like watching the chess grandmasters of cybercrime playfully nudging each other over who gets to exploit the most vulnerabilities, all while the rest of us watch, popcorn in hand, hoping somebody remembered to patch the servers.
