Massive #breach spills #credentials for thousands of sensitive networks
Researchers have uncovered a massive breach of #Fortinet #firewalls that has given Russian-speaking attackers near-unrestricted access to some of the world’s largest and most powerful organizations, including #Oracle , #Chevron , #Lenovo , #FederalExpress , a #NATO defense contractor, and Fortinet itself.
Nearly 74,000 Fortinet devices from more than 21,000 IP addresses in 194 countries have been compromised and their plaintext #credentials exposed online, Bob Diachenko, a #security researcher and head of SecurityDiscovery.com, said online and in an interview. He said he found the data after gaining access to the attackers’ command-and-control server and other #infrastructure. The exposed data also included the industry, revenue, and employee count for each compromised organization.
