Cybercriminals allegedly hacked tens of thousands of Fortinet firewalls used by major companies all over the world
Cybercriminals speaking Russian are allegedly exploiting Fortinet firewalls and VPNs at major companies worldwide using previously disclosed credentials. The attacks target multiple organizations that have not updated their default or known passwords on these network appliances.
Why it matters: Organizations running Fortinet firewalls and VPNs face immediate risk of unauthorized network access and lateral movement; security teams must verify credential changes on these devices and review access logs for compromise indicators.
