The FBI and Secret Service warn that FortiBleed continues compromising over 86,000 Fortinet firewalls worldwide.
Summary
Attackers lock victims out of their own devices and feed access to ransomware groups. Organizations face complex recovery beyond simple password resets. Immediate hardening is required.
This is a brief wire summary, the full story (linked below) has the complete details.
KazaSec's take
Incidents like this rarely start with the headline event itself, they usually trace back to an exposed remote-access endpoint, an unpatched perimeter system, or a credential phished weeks earlier. The organizations that recover fastest are the ones that tested their defenses and their incident response plan before they needed them.
