Centreon, the maker of the IT monitoring software exploited by Russian state hackers to infiltrate French companies' networks, said today that only organizations using obsolete software were compromised.

Today's Centreon press release comes after a report released on Monday by ANSSI, the French national cyber-security agency, describing a series of attacks that resulted in multiple French IT providers getting breached over four years.

Following ANSSI's report, Centreon says that none of its customers were impacted by the attacks.

The company also added that this was not a supply-chain attack, with the Russian hackers not using its IT platform to deliver malicious code onto Centreon customers' servers.

"The ANSSI report and our exchanges with them confirm that Centreon did not distribute or contribute to propagate malicious code," Centreon added.

Centreon's customer list includes high-profile organizations such as Airbus, Air France KLM, Agence France-Presse, Euronews, Orange, Arcelor Mittal, Sephora, and several French government orgs including the French Ministry of Justice.
