SonicWall discloses breach of its cloud backup service.
SonicWall is warning customers to reset their credentials following a breach affecting its cloud backup service for firewalls, SecurityWeek reports. The company stated, "Our investigation found that threat actors accessed backup firewall preference files stored in the cloud for fewer than 5% of our firewall install base. While credentials within the files were encrypted, the files also included information that could make it easier for attackers to potentially exploit the related firewall. We are not presently aware of these files being leaked online by threat actors. This was not a ransomware or similar event for SonicWall; rather, this was a series of brute force attacks aimed at gaining access to the preference files stored in backup for potential further use by threat actors."
SonicWall is notifying affected customers and will provide them with fresh preferences files. SonicWall users who have cloud backups enabled should follow the company's guidance to mitigate their potential exposure.
