I wish the title was a bit more clear from the original post. This feels a little bit vague on purpose.

Microsoft Exchange server software , not to be confused with MS Outlook email software or the lesser Windows Mail software.

Exchange is often externally open in some way for OWA.

One that server is hacked, you may be wide-open internally.

I’d be at least as concerned about an Exchange vulnerability as I would be about Outlook, but probably more.

Maybe it's because I haven't dealt with MS products in awhile, but my first thought was who puts OWA on the open internet without requiring a VPN? That's just asking for trouble.
