SonicWall Says Internal Systems Targeted by Hackers Exploiting Zero-Day Flaws
2021-01-23 12:07

UPDATE] Cybersecurity firm SonicWall said late on Friday that some of its internal systems were targeted by "Highly sophisticated threat actors" exploiting what appear to be zero-day vulnerabilities affecting some of the company's products.

The SMA 100 Series product remains under investigation, SonicWall said.

Before the news broke, SecurityWeek received an anonymous email claiming that SonicWall was hit by ransomware and that hackers managed to steal "All customer data."

A second anonymous email to SecurityWeek said all internal systems went down on Tuesday at SonicWall and that the attackers left a message on Wednesday asking to be contacted by the company's CEO. The same individual also claimed all source code was stolen from SonicWall's GitLab repository as a result of the breach.

A screenshot described as proof that the hackers had full access to all internal systems at SonicWall only showed the results of a search conducted using the Shodan search engine.

SonicWall made no mention of ransomware or if any data may have been compromised, and SecurityWeek has not been able to independently confirm the claims - they could be false claims that may have nothing to do with the actual breach suffered by SonicWall.
