Hackers Breach Enterprise Firewalls and VPNs, Exposing Over 70,000 Credentials

Cybersecurity researchers disclosed a campaign targeting exposed network edge devices, including Fortinet FortiGate and Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect firewalls, that led to over 70,000 exposed credentials. The operators reportedly gained access to numerous organizations across multiple geographies and attempted further compromise on select victims.

Why it matters: Organizations using Fortinet and Palo Alto Networks edge devices face immediate risk if those devices are exposed online; practitioners should audit firewall configurations, force credential resets for potentially compromised accounts, and review access logs for lateral movement.
