Another warning to Fortinet administrators, beware of free Netflix offers, credentials to streaming services stolen and another big cloud mistake
Welcome to Cyber Security Today. It’s Friday April 9th. I’m Howard Solomon, contributing reporter on cybersecurity for ITWorldCanada.com.
I started the week alerting users of Fortinet security devices that hackers are actively looking to exploit several vulnerabilities in its products. Unfortunately, IT administrators have been slow to patch them. Well, on Thursday security company Kaspersky said one of those vulnerabilities is being exploited on Fortinet VPN Gateways to launch ransomware attacks. The initial malware steals usernames and passwords, which an attacker uses to get into the computer network through the Fortinet device. Then the ransomware is downloaded. IT administrators that haven’t learned from the earlier warnings from Fortinet to install the latest patches may be sorry.
