A lawsuit against Accellion and one of its clients, the supermarket chain Kroger, notes that "key people within Accellion have acknowledged the need to leave the FTA platform behind due to the security concerns raised by it."
Accellion’s CMO, Joel York, confirmed that the company "is encouraging its clients to discontinue use of FTA because it does not protect against modern data breaches," the lawsuit notes.
