Student Name: Nadia Simpson
Research Name: Attack on Microsoft Servers
Research Objectives:
1. Talk about the vulnerabilities with Microsoft servers that could have caused the attack
2. Explain the methods that the hackers used to exploit the system which led to the breach
3. The steps that Microsoft took to patch the vulnerabilities in the servers in the aftermath of the attack
4. I also want to talk about different attacks on Microsoft servers, especially the one that happened in 2021
Research Description: What I want to talk about in this research paper is multiple attacks on Microsoft servers but the one that stood out to me was the 2021 attack on the Microsoft Exchange Server which impacted both governments and banking corporations. Ransomware and malware occurred in the attack which I want to touch on in the research. I also want to talk about the types of ransomware and malware used in the attacks
Deliverables (charts, graphs, tables, etc.):
Rough Research Timeline:
