Security News > 2021 > February > Hackers steal StormShield firewall source code in data breach
Leading French cybersecurity company StormShield disclosed that their systems were hacked, allowing a threat actor to access the company's support ticket system and steal source code for Stormshield Network Security firewall software.
StormShield is a French cybersecurity firm that develops UTM firewall devices, endpoint protection solutions, and secure file management solutions.
StormShield discovered that threat actors accessed some of the source code for their SNS source code during the attack after further investigation.
"Further investigations in the context of this incident have revealed the leakage of some parts of the SNS source code. This information has also been communicated to our customers," StormShield warned its customers.
As the Stormshield Network Security firmware powers the company's UTM firewalls, the leak of the company's source code may make it easier for threat actors to find bugs that attackers can use to exploit the devices.
To be safe, StormShield anticipates changing the code signing certificate used to ensure the integrity of the SNS firmware releases and updates.
