Source = me or whatever. They patched Netscaler late, visible on Shodan.
Transparency: Deleted a toot in this thread. I flagged another company called Fidelity who also patched late.
Restoring toot - it turns out Fidelity National Financial, Inc. and Fidelity National Information Service merged years ago. Both patched #CitrixBleed late and now have security incidents involving a ransomware group.

@GossiTheDog phewwww they have their hands in a lot of people’s shit, often involuntarily

@GossiTheDog guess we'll see the leak in a few months.

Also... double-extortion incoming in near future.

@GossiTheDog Just to summarise the results of paying hackers:
- Stolen data will still be misused in any possible way (but quiet, without attributing to the victim)
- Hackers will do whatever possible to maintain the access to the victim IT systems (but they will temporarily not use it)
- Restoring hacked systems will still cost fortune (even getting some help from hacker initially, there's still a lot to do)
So the only reason to pay hackers is because otherwise shareholders will panic, right?
@GossiTheDog Just to confirm, since there seem to be dozens of financial industry firms named "Fidelity", this is a different Fidelity from the place that holds my 401(k), correct?
