SonicWall confirms cloud backup data breach incident.
In a recent development, SonicWall has announced that a security incident has affected less than 5% of their firewall installations with cloud backup via MySonicWall.com. This incident was not a ransomware attack, but rather brute force attacks aimed at gaining access to the backup configuration files.
The affected devices will be marked with an information banner upon login. If you are a SonicWall customer, we recommend logging into your MySonicWall account to check if your cloud backups are enabled.
If serial numbers are displayed, customers should follow the guidelines for mitigation and remediation provided by SonicWall. For more information and technical guidance on this matter, please refer to the SonicWall Knowledge Base - Backup Incident.
It is important to note that the credentials contained in the files were encrypted. However, the files could potentially contain information that could facilitate the exploitation of the respective firewall.
