Alert from CERT-FR, which is the French government s computer emergency readiness team
French cybersecurity authorities are warning that widely used, open-source IT monitoring software called Centreon appears to have been targeted by Russian hackers. But unlike the SolarWinds supply chain attack, in this campaign, attackers appear to have hacked outdated, unpatched versions of the software.
The Centreon open-source IT network monitoring tool is developed by the Paris-based company of the same name.
The National Cybersecurity Agency of France, known as ANSSI, says that the campaign has resulted in the breach of at least several French organizations for a period of up to three years.
