This would hardly be a surprise. The NSA TAO was responsible for EternalBlue. And they have straight up stated that they hold on to some zero-day vulnerabilities for use. Hacking a "Microsoft Exchange Mail to attack and control the mail server of a major Chinese military enterprise" to collect SIGINT is rather exactly why the NSA exists. They should be assumed to be a state sponsored APT like any other.

Exploiting? Zero-day? Microsoft is a US' bitch and Windows has more backdoors than Linux has audio players. And China says it like those backdoors are unintentional vulnerabilities.

Even the EU which supposed to be US ally is moving away from Microsoft
